Do you suffer from excessive sweating in your underarms or other areas of your body, otherwise known as hyperhidrosis? Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating that’s not always related to heat or exercise. It can affect different parts of the body, such as the hands, feet, underarms or face. Hyperhidrosis can cause social anxiety and embarrassment, as well as skin infections in extreme cases.
So what causes it? Hyperhidrosis can be caused by faulty nerve signals that trigger sweat glands to become overactive which is classified as primary hyperhidrosis. Secondary hyperhidrosis is when excessive sweating is from an underlying medical condition or medication.
If you're struggling with hyperhidrosis, don't worry – there’s a solution! Neurotoxin treatments, such as Dysport and Botox, can effectively treat hyperhidrosis by temporarily blocking the signals that stimulate sweat glands. By injecting small amounts of neurotoxin into the affected areas, the nerves that trigger sweating are blocked, resulting in a significant decrease in sweat production.
The results speak for themselves — neurotoxin treatment can reduce sweating by up to 87% in the underarms and by 90% in the palms. This treatment requires repeated injections every six months and may have side effects such as muscle weakness. The neurotoxin treatment is quick, simple, and can be done right here at Alora. The process takes under a half hour, and you can immediately return to your daily activities. Results can be seen within a few days of the treatment and typically last between 4-6 months depending on your skin type.
Aside from effectively treating hyperhidrosis, these kinds of neurotoxin treatments have even more benefits. These include:
Improved confidence and self-esteem
Increased comfort and reduced irritation in the affected areas
Improved hygiene and a decrease in odor
The ability to wear clothing without worrying about sweat stains
