How to treat hyperhidrosis?
Before starting treatment for hyperhidrosis, a specialist conducts a consultation and collects an anamnesis to determine the cause of the pathology. You may also need to consult a doctor of another specialty, for example, a neurologist or endocrinologist.
If it is established that hyperhidrosis is not associated with other diseases, treatment with injections of botulinum toxin is prescribed. These safe and effective drugs help to get rid of hyperhidrosis for up to 12 months.
How is the injection treatment going?
The botulinum toxin injection procedure is performed in the clinic. First, the skin areas where the drug will be injected are treated with an anesthetic, and then with an antiseptic. The drug is administered using an insulin syringe. A thin needle and pre-anesthesia provide comfort during the procedure. After the injections, the doctor treats the injection sites and gives recommendations on skin care before the next session.
