Are you embarrassed by how much you sweat? Maybe you turn up for dinner with sweaty underarms, or can’t face shaking anyone’s hand for fear of how damp they’ll find your palms. If any of this sounds familiar, then our hyperhidrosis treatments are for you. At Alban City Dental & Surgical Centre, we’ve taken the time to curate a range of treatments that can really help our patients live their lives to the fullest by taking the stress out of the everyday. This includes treatment for hyperhidrosis.
What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which a patient sweats excessively, sometimes even in cool temperatures or in a state of rest. This mostly happens in areas of the body where sweat glands are in a high concentration, such as the armpits, feet, and hands.
How common is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a fairly common condition, with 2 – 3% of the population suffering from it. We can treat this condition with targeted injections of Botulinum toxin type A (commonly referred to as Botox), which block the chemicals that produce sweat in the sweat glands.
How is hyperhidrosis treatment applied?
Treatment for hyperhidrosis will be administered with a needle by one of our highly trained clinicians. We’ll go over which areas need to be treated and targeted in a consultation.
Is hyperhidrosis treatment painful?
We can apply a numbing agent before treatment to help keep you comfortable throughout.
How long does hyperhidrosis treatment take?
In most cases, this treatment can be carried out in 30 minutes or less.
How long do the results from hyperhidrosis treatment last?
Results from this treatment usually last 2 – 4 months.
Is there any downtime after hyperhidrosis treatment?
There isn’t any downtime involved in this minimally-invasive treatment. Still, we do recommend avoiding heavy exercise for up to 24 hours. Try to avoid touching the area that has been treated.
