Anti-Sweating Treatment
Would you like to feel more confident in the summer and reduce underarm sweating, or do you sweat excessively when you are anxious or in a stressful environment? For many of us sweating can be an extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing problem to deal with. Whether it’s your underarms or another area of your body, our friendly team at The Abbey can help.
What is Anti-Sweating Treatment?
Anti-sweating treatment can be used to temporarily block messages to sweat glands dramatically reducing the amount of moisture produced. It is ideal for patients suffering from Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and is also helpful to patients who simply wish to stop the embarrassing effects of sweating under the arms. This treatment is by prescription only and should only be offered to patients who have been assessed through a consultation process by a medical trained healthcare professional.
What causes excessive sweating?
Sweating profusely can be a really uncomfortable and embarrassing problem to have. It can be caused by the following:
- Pregnancy or menopause
- Anxiety
- Certain medical conditions like diabetes.
- Some medication
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia)
- Infections
What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating where moisture production from the sweat glands occurs at an exponential rate. Common areas it can affect are your armpits, the palm of your hands, the soles of your feet and your groin.
The main symptoms of hyperhidrosis include areas of your body being overly sweaty, having damp clothing which can make you feel self conscious.
