Excessive Sweating - Hyperhidrosis
Axillary hyperhidrosis can be a very debilitating condition for many people. It can affect their self confidence due to the accompanying odour, it may damage clothes or inhibit their ability to wear particular fabrics, colours and outfits.
At Adelaide Plastic Surgery we offer injections of a purified protein to treat this condition.
This is a simple, fast procedure, effective for many sufferers.
It involves tiny sub dermal injections into the armpits using a medication that blocks the neurotransmitters that stimulate sweat production, reducing the sweating to normal levels or stopping sweat production altogether.
The sweat does not "back up" and you will still sweat in non treated areas.
The treatment generally lasts for 6 to 9 months.
Possible side effects are temporary bruising and slight pain to the treated areas
