Hyperhidrosis Treatment (Excess Sweating)
Treatment for Excess Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Some people can feel very self conscious about the amount they sweat, and sometimes find they are sweating excessively even when not they are not active or warm. This is a medical condition called Hyperhidrosis, it’s characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. Hyperhidrosis can occur underarms, palms, feet, and forehead.
If you're looking for a proven solution, Botox is widely recognised as a treatment for hyperhidrosis. Botox is injected to the affected area, and works by blocking the chemical signals that stimulate sweat glands, reducing their activity and minimising sweating in the treated area. This is a relatively painless procedure, has minimal to no downtime, and can last up to 6 months.
To find out if you are a suitable candidate for Hyperhidrosis treatment, please book a consultation with Dr Karim to discuss treatment plans.
