Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating, which can affect the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet and under the arms. Whether it occurs all the time or at impulsive intervals, it can often lead to embarrassing moments that are hard to conceal. Muscle relaxing injections can be injected into the affected area to reduce and improve excessive sweating.

Muscle relaxing injections are commonly used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the upper part of the face, where muscle movements are responsible for the formation of lines and creases. In these cases the toxin works to stabilise the contractions of the muscle and stop the wrinkle from developing. In the same way that the muscles are inhibited from moving, Muscle relaxing injections can work to disable the nerves in the sweat glands and block the signals to produce sweat.
Your practitioner will inject the product just under the surface of the skin, using a very small needle. A series of applications will be made to the affected area, in a grid-like pattern to ensure the affected area is sufficiently covered.
Although one treatment is all that is necessary to reduce hyperhidrosis, it may take up to one week for the procedure to take effect. Repeat procedures are likely to be required in the future for long term results, which the team at Light Touch Clinic will be more than happy to arrange. A solution for improving your excessive sweating can also improve your quality of life and emotional well-being.
