Anti-wrinkle Treatment for Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
Anti-wrinkle Treatment for Hyperhidrosis in Galway
Excessive sweating, known medically as hyperhidrosis, can affect daily comfort, clothing choices and confidence. It may occur under the arms, on the palms, soles or other areas. In some individuals, the sweat glands in a particular region are more active than usual, leading to persistent moisture even at rest. In suitable cases, anti-wrinkle injections may be used to help reduce sweating in the treated area. This treatment is carried out by our doctor following a consultation.
Treatment areas include
- Underarms
- Palms
- Soles of the feet
Anti-wrinkle injections act by limiting the signals that activate sweat glands. When introduced into the skin of the affected area, they may help reduce excessive perspiration for a period of time. The aim is to support day to day comfort without preventing the body from regulating temperature through other areas of skin. The procedure involves a series of small injections across the region being treated. Most people describe a brief, manageable sensation during the appointment.
Many individuals notice a gradual change in the level of sweating over the following days and weeks as the treatment begins to take effect. Results vary from person to person, and the effect is temporary.
