Excessive Sweating Treatments (Hyperhidrosis)
A safe and effective treatment for excessive under arm perspiration
Excessive sweating from under the arms (hyperhidrosis) is one of the most embarrassing conditions possible. Roberts SKin Clinic can offer hope in the form of a number of treatments.
In the past, all kinds of radical treatments were used in order to treat hyperhidrosis including surgical removal of the sweat glands under the arms, and even cutting the nerves in the neck.
Sadly, these treatments often resulted in unpleasant side effects such as significant scarring, and simply moved the sweating problem to another area of the body, such as the face or groin area.
Thankfully, there is now a much safer and more effective treatment with very little risk of side effects. Using a muscle relaxing injection of Botulinum Toxin it is possible to significantly reduce the symptoms of hyperhidrosis.
What are the benefits of excessive sweating treatments?
In most cases, excessive sweating treatments take effect within a matter of days, leading to a significant reduction in the amount of sweating. Typically, improvements last around three to six months, and can be repeated as often as necessary.
How do excessive sweating treatments work?
The treatment involves an injection of tiny amounts of a muscle relaxant called Botulinum Toxin in a grid pattern over the affected area. You may experience a small amount of discomfort during the procedure, but in most cases, no anaesthetic is required.
Are there other products that may help me?
For milder cases of hyperhidrosis, talcum power and cornstarch powder products such as Zeasorb can help to absorb the sweat. There are also a number of stronger antiperspirants, available including Driclor and AnHydrol Forte. These are made using strong solutions of aluminium chloride, and can be used for armpits, hands and feet. However they can cause skin to become irritated over time. If this happens you should consult your GP.
If you find that you are still suffering from excessive sweating after using these products, you should contact us to discuss other treatment options.
How much do excessive sweating treatments cost?
The actual treatment required to correct hyperhidrosis varies depending on your personal requirements, but to get an estimate on how much excessive sweating treatments may cost you, please call us now to arrange a consultation with Dr Roberts.
