FAQs

What is hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for temperature regulation. It can happen for no obvious reason, because of another condition you may have, or as a side effect of a medicine you’re taking.

It can be used to treat the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet.

How long does the treatment take?

Is the treatment painful?

The injections may cause mild discomfort or a slight pinching sensation, but it is generally well-tolerated. We often use numbing cream to minimize the discomfort.

How long do the effects last?

They typically last between four to six months. Individual results may vary, and repeat treatments are necessary to maintain the reduction in sweating.

Are there any complications associated with this treatment?

Common complications include redness, swelling, and rarely bruising.

Most patients notice a significant reduction in sweating within a few days to a week after the treatment, with optimal results typically achieved within two weeks.
