Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

What is Excessive Sweating Treatment?

Excessive Sweating, medically known as Hyperhidrosis, is a common condition characterized by sweating far beyond what is necessary for the body's temperature regulation. This treatment uses Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Neurotoxins) to safely and effectively block the chemical signals that trigger the sweat glands in the targeted areas.

When injected superficially, the neurotoxin acts as a temporary "off switch" for the overactive sweat glands, resulting in a dramatic reduction in perspiration. This treatment is a game-changer for individuals who have not found relief with prescription antiperspirants, significantly improving comfort and quality of life.

How Can Excessive Sweating Treatment Benefit You?

This specialized injectable procedure provides long-lasting and life-changing benefits:

  • Dramatic Sweat Reduction: Clinical studies show an average reduction of 82% to 87% in treated areas, such as the underarms.

  • Long-Lasting Relief: Provides sustained dryness and relief for several months, often between 6 to 12 months per treatment.

  • Increased Confidence: Eliminates concerns about visible sweat marks, odour, and constant discomfort, boosting self-esteem.

  • Targeted and Safe: The effect is localized only to the treated area, and it does not affect the body’s ability to regulate temperature elsewhere.

The Nurse Reine Specialized Process:

Nurse Reine ensures a precise and highly effective treatment protocol:

  • Assessment and Mapping: A detailed assessment is conducted to confirm suitability. For underarms, a starch-iodine test may be used to visually map the precise area of highest sweat production, ensuring optimal product placement.

  • Micro-Injection Grid: A very fine needle is used to administer tiny, shallow amounts of the neurotoxin just beneath the skin's surface in a precise grid pattern across the entire affected area.

  • Maximum Comfort Protocol: To minimize discomfort, topical numbing cream or cooling is applied, making the quick series of injections tolerable.

  • The treatment is FDA/Health Canada approved for severe underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis). We also treat other common areas, such as the palms, soles of the feet, and forehead on an "off-label" basis, following established expert protocols.

  • You should start noticing a reduction in sweating within 2 to 4 days after the treatment, with the full, complete drying effect typically achieved within 2 weeks.

  • The duration varies by individual and area, but relief from underarm sweating typically lasts between 6 to 12 months. Treatments for the palms and feet may require more frequent touch-ups (e.g., every 6 months).

  • There is virtually no downtime. You can return to work immediately. We recommend avoiding intensive exercise, saunas, and hot showers for the first 24 hours post-treatment.

  • Yes, absolutely. Only a small fraction of the body's sweat glands are affected, which has no impact on the body’s overall ability to cool itself. Compensatory sweating (sweating more elsewhere) is not a concern with this treatment.

  • With the use of topical numbing and a precise technique using the finest needles, the discomfort is minimal, often described as a slight pinprick.
