i have a problem with excessive sweating, can sweat reduction injections help me?

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis is a condition that's not necessarily related to heat or exercise.

If you have ever been embarrassed by excessive sweating and experienced unsightly underarm stains on your favourite t-shirt, or simply avoid certain clothes due to uncomfortable sweat patches then this non surgical hyperhidrosis treatment utilising a muscle relaxant could provide relief.

Here in Perth at Attentive Aesthetics, I treat the underarms for hyperhidrosis although some people also experience excessive sweating on the hands, feet and face.

the cause of excessive sweating

There are two categories of hyperhidrosis:

1. Primary hyperhidrosis is the most common, and the cause is unknown and there is usually a family history of the condition.

2. Secondary hyperhidrosis is when the sweating is caused by an underlying medical condition and may affect the whole body. Possible causes include a thyroid condition, menopause, medications and diabetes.

We recommend consulting with a local Perth GP to determine the cause of your excessive sweating before seeking treatment.

how does Hyperhidrosis treatment work?

This non surgical treatment involves the use of muscle relaxing injections, which are the same as those used as a wrinkle relaxer.

When injected into the armpits, this blocks the secretion of the chemical that activates the sweat glands. The result is less perspiration in the treatment area and relief from excessive sweating.

what does hyperhidrosis treatment involve?

• I will provide a careful consultation prior to any excessive sweating treatment.

• Iodine and corn starch powder is applied to your armpits to determine the location of your sweat glands and excessive sweating.

• The area is cleaned and marked followed by the application of a numbing cream to reduce discomfort.

• The treatment involves shallow injections just under the skin using an exceptionally fine needle.

• Hyperhidrosis treatment takes around 30 minutes.

It is best to wear loose clothing to your appointment to avoid irritation after treatment.

how long do results last?

Hyperhidrosis treatment may last anywhere between 7 to 12 months.

Results will vary amongst individuals due to variables such as metabolism, medical conditions and the severity of the condition.

Many patients in Perth choose to have excessive sweating treatment in spring, just before the hottest months for maximal benefits.

what to expect after hyperhidrosis treatment

Following anti-wrinkle injections (wrinkle relaxers) there may be mild swelling and redness at the injection points and occasionally bruising.

Normal activities can be resumed and you can definitely return to work.

There are some general precautions that should be taken to reduce the risks of side effects and to obtain the best results. I will provide you with your aftercare instructions.

You will be requested to return to the clinic in Perth 4 weeks following your treatment to assess your results.

are there any risks?

Injection related after effects can include slight redness, bruising and mild pain.

Some may perceive an increase in sweating in areas other than the underarms for a short while after injections.

Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding or who have an underlying neurological condition cannot be treated with wrinkle relaxers for excessive sweating.

How Much Does Hyperhidrosis Treament cost in perth?

Generally a higher dose of wrinkle relaxers is required when compared to the treatment of wrinkles.

I choose to use the premium grade, original and most extensively researched brand of wrinkle relaxer, Type B Brand.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) prohibits the advertisement (including price) of prescription only medicine, which may be utilised for your rejuvenation treatment.

Information regarding pricing will be provided following a thorough consultation and it has been determined that you are a candidate for treatment.
