Treatment for Excessive Sweating
How does
hyperhidrosis treatment work?
Neuromodulator treatments for hyperhidrosis work by temporarily blocking certain nerve signals in the treated area. When injected into areas such as the underarms, they can help reduce excessive sweating from the sweat glands for a period of time. Results are temporary and vary from person to person.
The injection portion of the appointment is typically brief and well tolerated; anesthetic is not always required. Improvement is usually noticed gradually, with full effects commonly seen within 7-14 days after treatment. Suitability, dosing, and personalized treatment plans are determined during an in-person clinical assessment.
