Benefits of Hyperhidrosis Treatment

Lessen sweating
Be able to wear coloured clothes without worrying
Feeling more confident  

Hyperhidrosis, commonly referred to as hyperhidrosis is not as uncommon as you may think, although it is considered a personal taboo topic. This concern is often dismissed, but it can also leave some people feeling incredibly self-conscious. You may have bought and sampled an array of deodorants and anti-perspirants or resorted to only wearing dark clothing to hide those dreaded sweat patches. If so, hyperhidrosis treatment is for you.  Most common treatment areas are armpits, palm of the hands and the back of the neck.At Mollie Elise Aesthetics we can individualise your treatment to get back to normality.

This treatment can also be referred to sweat prevention, anti-sweat treatment, sweat therapy, perspire easing, sweat blocking and semi-permanent deodorant.

Sweating excessively can be alleviated using relaxing injections to relax the nerves in the treatment area. It is a swift treatment which is most effective in the underarms, hands and feet. The relaxing solution is injected into the intra-dermal tissue in the skin to de-activate the sweat glands in the treatment area. A maintenance appointment is advised every 4-8 months depending on your individual metabolism. If this is something that sounds like it is for you, contact us to book a consultation with one of our nurse practitioners in clinic.
