Hyperhidrosis treatment
Excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis is
commonly undiagnosed
Information
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating, where the body to sweats more than what is necessary to keep the body cool. It affects millions of people globally and is commonly undiagnosed. Hyperhidrosis is usually linked to genetics, however there are no definitive causes of this condition. In many instances, temperature fluctuations aren’t the cause of hyperhidrosis either. The underarms are most often affected, but the face, feet and hands can also experience the effects of the condition. Excessive sweating can sometimes interfere with daily life if left untreated.
Treating Hyperhidrosis
Excessive sweating is treated in several different ways, including medication and prescription antiperspirant. However, these over-the-counter solutions can also be combined with cosmetic treatments.
Wrinkle treatments, due to their ability to block nerve signals, are one of the most effective solutions for hyperhidrosis. In a focused and precise method, the treatment can target the glands and nerves to prevent excessive sweating, in any area that is affected.
Treatments are quick and generally tolerable, but patients who want to further reduce discomfort can request a local or topical anaesthetic. The entire process takes about ten minutes to complete, with the results lasting up to nine months

HYPERHIDROSIS – Q & A:
If the excessive sweating is linked to an underlying condition, hyperhidrosis may subside naturally. This is only if the underlying condition is addressed. If it’s deemed to be more genetic, you will need ongoing treatment to in order to reduce sweat. Most people start out with medication and prescription antiperspirants and add on cosmetic treatment later. You need to discover what works for you. The first step is to schedule a consultation at Infinity Skin Clinic for a professional evaluation.
Your body has millions of sweat glands, with less than 5% located under the arms. Even though you will sweat less under your arms, this doesn’t mean you can’t sweat. Your body will cool itself down using its many other sweat glands. This will also be the case when treating other areas affected by the condition – the treatment is targeted, and therefore its effects will only work in the particular treatment area.
Most patients see results after just one treatment. However, we recommend ongoing treatments to maintain the results. In most instances, patients need two treatments per year to keep hyperhidrosis symptoms under control.
A wrinkle treatment to treat excessive sweating usually takes about a week to affect the treated area. In terms of how long results last, six to nine months is the norm. However, every patient experiences results differently. The body metabolises the treatment at different rates, which means your lifestyle and unique internal processes all play a role in how long your hyperhidrosis results last.
Patients may experience some slight redness and tenderness after their session. However, it won’t stop them from returning to their usual routine. There may also be some mild bruising following a hyperhidrosis session.
For several hours after your treatment, it’s important not to lie down. If you received treatment under your arms, don’t apply any antiperspirants until the day after. For the first 24 hours, you can’t rub or massage the treated area or engage in vigorous exercise. Laser and other cosmetic treatments should be avoided for at least a week after treatment.
The cost of your treatments depends on your personalised treatment plan, which will be tailored to the condition of the particular area that you are treating. Your treatment plan will need to be discussed during your consultation.
