Excess Sweating treatment in Karachi
Underarms, palms, soles and face dry for six to nine months with botulinum toxin injections. Twenty minutes, mapped and dosed by a doctor.
What is causing it?
- Overactive sweat glands respond to nerve signals more than they need to; the cause is usually genetic.
- Sudden or generalised sweating can have a medical cause and is investigated.
- Botulinum toxin blocks the nerve signal to the glands for months.
Understand the cause first.
Hyperhidrosis, sweating beyond what the body needs, affects the underarms, palms, soles and face, and it affects confidence, clothes and work. It is a medical condition with an effective treatment: botulinum toxin injected into the skin blocks the signal to the sweat glands for six to nine months.
The clinic treats it in twenty minutes after mapping the area, with numbing for the palms and soles, and investigates sudden or generalised sweating before treating it.
