Hyperhidrosis Treatment (Excessive Sweating)
The hyperhidrosis treatment involves precise injections of a solution into the targeted areas, such as the underarms, palms, or feet, using a fine needle. The solution works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals responsible for stimulating the sweat glands, reducing the production of sweat in the treated areas. The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes and involves minimal discomfort. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site may occur but generally subsides within a few hours to days. Initial results can be seen within a few days, with full effects noticeable within 1–2 weeks. Results usually last between 3–12 months, depending on the individual and treated area, with follow-up treatments recommended to maintain optimal results.
