Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Reduce excessive sweating and unwanted body odour
EXCESSIVE SWEATING
Excessive sweating, medically known as hyperhidrosis, is a condition that affects millions of people, both men and women, worldwide. It typically begins during puberty and is often reported to run in families. Hyperhidrosis occurs when the body’s natural ability to regulate temperature is disrupted, leading to uncontrollable sweating.
While sweating is a normal body response to heat, stress, or anxiety, people with hyperhidrosis experience excessive sweating even without these common triggers. The condition can affect various parts of the body, including the palms, feet, underarms, and face. It may also be linked to certain illnesses or medications.
How BTA Works
When injected into areas such as the armpits, hands, feet, or scalp and face, BTA inhibits the release of a chemical called acetylcholine, which stimulates sweat glands. By blocking this chemical, BTA reduces excessive sweating in targeted areas.
TREATMENT EXPERIENCE
The injection process can cause mild discomfort, but the use of a very fine needle along with a topical anesthetic cream helps minimize discomfort during the procedure.
EFFICACY
Treatment with BTA typically provides relief from excessive sweating for six to twelve months, after which repeat treatments may be necessary to maintain results.
