What it is

Excessive sweating affects millions of people around the world. It makes patients uncomfortable and causes them to adapt their lifestyle by layering clothing, avoiding handshakes and keeping their arms close to their body. Hyperhidrosis, more commonly known as excessive sweating, can be easily corrected with Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport and Xeomin). Neuromodulators block the nerves responsible for activating the sweat glands, thus, reducing the amount of perspiration in the treated area. With only a few injections, patients can get up to a year of excess sweating relief.

Hyperhidrosis treatments greatly reduce excessive perspiration in the:

• Underarms

• Hands

• Forehead

• Feet

Approximate treatment duration:

30 minutes

Anesthesia

Anesthesia is not required for Hyperhydrosis treatments. It can however be administered locally if patients are sensitive to pain.

Post-Treatment Care:

You can return home immediately after your treatment. Most patients resume normal activities such as work, driving and showering right away. It is however recommended to hold off on exercise for a minimum of 24 hours. Dr Rizis will see you 2 to 3 weeks after your treatment to assess the treated area and, if needed, perform an additional treatment.
