Everyone sweats, it’s the body’s way of regulating temperature. Unfortunately some people sweat too much because of overactive sweat glands. In severe cases, sweating significantly exceeds the body's normal requirements for cooling - sometimes four to five times more than is necessary or normal. No need to suffer the sometimes embarrassing, uncomfortable, stressful, and disabling consequences of excessive sweating.
Hyperhidrosis - the facts
Hyperhidrosis affects millions of people around the world - approximately three percent of the population - but because of lack of awareness, most people are never diagnosed let alone treated for their symptoms. Uncontrolled sweating can occur in various parts of the body including the hands, feet, and underarms, or all over. Although high temperatures or stress can increase perspiration, they don't cause hyperhidrosis. It is a genetic trait that stops the body from properly regulating its temperature. Excessive sweating can disrupt all aspects of a person’s life, from career choices and recreational activities to relationships, emotional well-being, and self-esteem. SplashClinic can have you feeling confident again.
Simple and safe hyperhidrosis treatment
Our doctor can assess your condition and prescribe a series of injections, which effectively treat excessive underarm sweating. Prescribed hyperhidrosis injections target sweating at its source. Once injected by your SplashClinic nurse, the natural treatment enters the specific glands in the area responsible for excessive sweating. There, it blocks the release of a chemical that signals the perspiration. The procedure takes around ten minutes.
A lasting treatment for excessive sweating
After the first treatment the effects of the SplashClinic hyperhidrosis injections last an average of 10-12 months. However, the amount of time the natural substance injected remains effective may vary. When your symptoms begin to return, see your doctor.
For more information, speak to one of our registered nurses, or book a consultation with the doctor.
