Your excessive sweating treatment: step by step
1) Consultation and assessment. You will meet with one of our clinic doctors to discuss your treatment goals and any concerns you might have. During this initial consultation, your doctor will take the time to understand your specific concerns and expectations. Our doctors will assess your medical conditions, medications or any allergies.
2) Confirming your treatment plan. Following your initial consultation, our cosmetic doctors will be able to advise if you are a suitable candidate for hyperhidrosis treatment.
3) Treatment on the day. On the day of your injectables consultation, it may be possible for the hyperhidrosis treatment to be performed right away – or you can choose to rebook for a time that is convenient for you. Of course, you can also decide not to proceed with the excess sweating treatment at all if you wish.
4) Anaesthetic and injection. Before the injection process, a numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area in order to reduce discomfort. The use of numbing cream can help make the hypderhidrosis injections more comfortable for you, especially if you are anxious about needles or have sensitive skin. A series of injections will take place in the effected areas. It typically takes three to four days for the results to become evident. The injections should stop excessive sweating for up to six months (depending on the individual and the area being treated).
5) Aftercare. After you have received your hyperhidrosis treatment, we recommend that you refrain from exercising and taking hot baths or showers for the rest of the day. Applying ice to the treated area and taking a mild pain reliever can help to alleviate tenderness. Normal activities may be resumed the following day
