A medically guided treatment option for patients affected by excessive sweating in everyday life.
Specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery
Overview
What Is Hyperhidrosis Treatment?
Hyperhidrosis treatment is used for people who experience excessive sweating beyond what is needed for normal body temperature regulation. Botulinum toxin can be injected into selected sweat-prone areas to temporarily reduce sweat gland activity.
This treatment uses the same botulinum toxin technique used in the Botox treatments, applied to sweat-prone areas rather than facial muscles.
Suitability
