“Hyperhidrosis treatment is about more than dryness—it’s about confidence, comfort, and reclaiming your freedom.”
Understanding Excessive Sweating and Its Causes
Hyperhidrosis is caused by overactive sweat glands, often triggered by stress, heat, or without any clear reason. It typically affects areas like the underarms, hands, feet, and face. While it’s not harmful, it can lead to emotional discomfort and social anxiety. Treating it helps improve quality of life significantly.
How Hyperhidrosis Treatments Help
Botox injections temporarily block the chemical signals that activate sweat glands. This reduces sweat production in the treated areas, providing relief for 6–12 months. It’s a safe, Health Canada-approved option with minimal downtime and significant benefits.
How It Works: The Science Behind It
Botulinum toxin (Botox) works by inhibiting acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that stimulates sweat glands. When injected into the skin, it stops the signal to sweat, effectively calming the glands. It’s especially effective in treating focal hyperhidrosis, such as axillary (underarm) and palmar (hand) sweating.
Complementary Services at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Center
To further enhance your confidence and hygiene in sweat-prone areas, pair your hyperhidrosis treatment with Laser Hair Removal for smoother, cleaner underarms. Reducing hair in these areas helps minimize bacterial buildup and odour. Additionally, if excessive sweating has caused skin darkening, our Underarm Whitening treatments can restore an even, radiant tone to your skin.
Results of Hyperhidrosis Treatments
Most clients notice a significant reduction in sweating within days of treatment. Underarm, palm, and foot sweating is visibly decreased, improving your comfort and lifestyle. Results can last several months, and with maintenance, long-term relief is achievable.
