Our clinic offers an injection of botulinum toxin in the affected areas to temporarily stop sweat production, providing significant relief from the symptoms. It can significantly improve a person’s quality of life, allowing them to engage in daily activities without the discomfort and embarrassment caused by excessive sweating.

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.

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.
