Excessive Sweating Treatment

Sweating can cause embarrassment and stress and may interfere with your daily life. If topical agents have not helped, you may be a candidate for treatments we have available at epiclinic®.

WHAT IS EXCESSIVE SWEATING?

Excessive sweating is a medical condition. Those who sweat excessively may do so due to overactive sweat glands. Sweat is your body’s temperature regulator; however, in some cases, it can significantly exceed the body’s normal requirement for cooling.

If you sweat at a high level that you find embarrassing or hindering to everyday actions such as shaking hands, an introductory hug or having a conversation in close quarters then treatment might be something to consider. Men and women can both struggle with hyperhidrosis, to the extent that a shirt may be drenched in sweat after minimal or no movement at all.

HOW DOES TREATMENT WORK?

The treatment that we can offer you to temporarily manage excessive sweating works by closing off the chemical signals from the nerves that activate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands are unable to receive these signals, excessive sweating stops. Many patients find that they have incredible results from this treatment.

WHAT AREAS CAN I TREAT?

The majority of patients undergo treatment in their armpits. Treatment is also an option for those who sweat excessively from their hands, feet and their face.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM TREATMENT?

Excessive sweating treatments are very effective at reducing the amount that you sweat. The results can take a couple of days to take effect. At this point, your body will be able to establish a normal sweating pattern. It is important to note that this treatment will not stop you from sweating completely. You will still be able to sweat. Your body will still be able to regulate its temperature. You will simply sweat less.

DOES THIS TREATMENT HURT?

We use very small needles to deliver the treatment. We can offer topical numbing solutions to help you if needed. Each person has his or her own tolerance for pain. Generally speaking, the injections involve just very mild discomfort.

HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE LAST?

The length of the procedure can vary, but typically takes just a few minutes to administer.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE-EFFECTS?

Any treatment can bring with it the risk for side-effects. Some of the side-effects of this treatment are very minor. They may include bruising, redness, itching and tenderness.

Some of the more serious and rare complications could include an allergic reaction, headache, tiredness or an interaction with other medications. It’s always important to provide us with a complete medical history so that we can focus on your health and safety.
