Treatment for Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition which causes sufferers to sweat heavily. It can affect under arms, face, head, palms, feet and even under the breasts. With the same product as we use as a muscle relaxant sufferers can gain up to 9 months without symptoms. This works by blocking the signal that our brain sends to the sweat gland telling it to sweat.

Sufferers can find it difficult to negotiate everyday social situations that require them to interact closely with others. Anxiety about their condition can affect the personal, social and professional lives of sufferers, and can lead to low self-esteem and isolation.

At Australian Skin Clinics we are able to treat hyperhidrosis with the use of relaxant injections. The treatment is not painful, takes about 30 minutes and you are able to return to your normal routine immediately afterwards. Typically, the treatment will give 6 to 9 months relief, with sweating only returning slowly over a period of time. Sufferers can expect 6 months with no sweat at all.
