How hyperhidrosis Works
Hyperhidrosis, a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating, affects millions of individuals worldwide. It is caused by overactive sweat glands which produce more sweat than necessary to regulate body temperature. This can significantly impact daily life, making normal activities challenging and uncomfortable. Hyperhidrosis can be classified into primary hyperhidrosis, where excessive sweating occurs in specific areas like the hands, feet, and underarms, and secondary hyperhidrosis, which is usually caused by an underlying health condition or medication.
At Oracle Clinics, we offer effective hyperhidrosis treatments to manage and reduce excessive sweat production. Our advanced treatments, including botulinum toxin injections, provide a non-surgical solution to control and reduce the activity of sweat glands. These treatments are particularly beneficial for focal hyperhidrosis, such as axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating) and facial hyperhidrosis.
Benefits of hyperhidrosis
Choosing hyperhidrosis treatment at Oracle Clinics comes with numerous benefits:
Improved Quality of Life: Effective treatment of excessive sweating can enhance your overall quality of life by reducing the physical discomfort and psychological impact associated with hyperhidrosis.
Long-Lasting Results: A single hyperhidrosis treatment with botulinum toxin can provide relief for 4–6 months, allowing you to enjoy normal activities without the worry of excessive sweating.
Non-Surgical Solution: Our injectable treatments are non-invasive and offer a safer alternative to surgical procedures, with minimal downtime.
Reduced Sweat Production: By targeting the overactive sweat glands, our treatments significantly decrease sweat production, reducing sweat patches and the need for multiple changes of clothes throughout the day.
Peace of Mind: With reduced sweating, you can confidently engage in social interactions and professional activities without fear of embarrassment.
Versatile Applications: Botulinum toxin injections are not only used for hyperhidrosis but also for other aesthetic treatments, such as reducing frown lines and improving cosmetic appearance.
PREPARATION FOR HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENT
Preparation for hyperhidrosis treatment at Oracle Clinics is straightforward and designed to ensure the best possible outcome:
Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with an initial consultation with our dedicated team of experts. During this session, we will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment expectations. We will also address any questions you may have about the procedure.
Avoid Perfumed Products: In the days leading up to your treatment, it is advisable to avoid using perfumed products and synthetic fabrics that can irritate the skin.
Review of Medications: Inform your Aesthetic Nurse of any medications you are currently taking, as certain drugs may need to be adjusted prior to treatment.
Stay Hydrated: Maintaining proper hydration is important for optimal skin health and can improve the effectiveness of the treatment.
Aftercare and Recovery
Immediate Aftercare: Post-treatment, you may experience mild discomfort at the injection sites. This is normal and typically resolves within a few days after treatment. Avoid tight clothes and excessive physical activity during this period to minimise irritation.
Avoid Synthetic Fabrics: For the first week of treatment, it is recommended to wear loose, breathable clothing made from natural fibres to prevent further irritation.
No Perfumed Products: Refrain from using perfumed products or deodorants containing aluminium chloride, as these can exacerbate skin sensitivity.
Monitor for Side Effects: Although rare, if you experience any unusual side effects such as severe swelling or an allergic reaction, contact our clinic immediately.
Regular Follow-Ups: Schedule follow-up appointments as advised by your Aesthetic Nurse to monitor your progress and discuss any additional treatments if necessary.
At Oracle Clinics, our goal is to provide you with advanced skin treatments that address the complexities of hyperhidrosis, offering you the freedom to live your life without the burden of excessive sweating.
