Excess Sweat Injections

Excess-Sweat Injections are designed to help prevent sweating and treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) under the arms. In Hyperhidrosis, certain sweat glands work overtime for no apparent reason, producing sweat that you don’t need – ‘excess sweat’.

Excess-Sweat Injections use the same technology as Anti-Wrinkle Injections to block the messaging between the nerves and the sweat glands under the armpits (rather than the nerves and the muscles). By blocking this message the injections prevent the glands being triggered and therefore they produce less sweat.

When injected precisely by an experienced practitioner, Excess-Sweat Injections are an effective, non-invasive, non-surgical way of treating hyperhidrosis and preventing excessive sweating.

Sweating is our body’s natural way of maintaining the right temperature. Exercise, stress, and hot weather can all increase sweat production.

However, some people suffer from Hyperhidrosis – excessive sweating. This often cannot be controlled with temperature regulation or antiperspirants and can be very embarrassing.

If you experience Hyperhidrosis and this is impacting your self-esteem, confidence, and personal relationships, then Excess-Sweat Injections can provide relief.

Proper preparation for your Excess-Sweat Injections can reduce any bruising and improve the results. We advise all clients avoid alcohol the day before the treatment.

After completing a consultation focused on your sweating and lifestyle, Tracie will inject multiple microinjections into the target area. In the armpit, a series of precisely positioned injections a few centimetres apart are necessary to block the glands and provide symptomatic relief. People notice far less ‘wet patches’ on their clothes and feel more confident of not having staining from the excessive perspiration.

The treatment itself is quick and usually an anaesthetic is not necessary as any discomfort is minor and short lived.

We will provide a soothing ice pack if needed after treatment. Crème Rescue Serum should then be used immediately after treatment and during the healing period to speed up healing.

There is no ‘down-time’ following Excess-Sweat Injections and you will be able to go about your normal activities immediately following the treatment. The only exception is avoiding strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours after treatment.

You may have some small bumps or bruising at the injection sights, but these are usually unnoticeable.

It’s important to note that the effects of Excess-Sweat injections are not immediate, and the final results may take two weeks to show. Tracie Giles London will arrange a review after two weeks where Tracie can check the results and make any small adjustments.

According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society underarm sweat injections can last anything from 4 – 14 months in some cases with results beginning after 2-4 days.
