Hyperhidrosis and Its Impact:
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary for temperature regulation. It can significantly affect a person’s quality of life, causing embarrassment, discomfort, and social anxiety. When traditional antiperspirants fail to provide relief, anti-wrinkle injections offer an effective solution.
How Does Anti-Wrinkle injections Work for Hyperhidrosis?
Anti-wrinkle injections, commonly associated with aesthetic treatments to smooth facial wrinkles, are also used to treat various medical conditions, including hyperhidrosis. The active ingredient in these injections, Botulinum Toxin Type A, is expertly utilised to target sweating at its source.
Anti-Wrinkle injections work by blocking the release of a neurotransmitter that signals sweat glands to produce sweat. Normally, your nervous system activates sweat glands when your body temperature rises to cool you down. In people with hyperhidrosis, these nerves are overactive, leading to excessive sweating. By injecting anti-wrinkle directly into the affected area (such as the armpits), the overactive nerves are essentially paralyzed. As a result, the sweat glands no longer receive signals to produce sweat.
