Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis can affect various parts of the body, including the palms, feet, underarms, and even the face. It can occur in both isolated episodes, triggered by stress or nervousness, or as a chronic and persistent issue. People with hyperhidrosis often find that their sweat production is far greater than what is necessary for temperature regulation, and it can occur even in cool or comfortable environments.
Hyperhidrosis can have a profound impact on a person's quality of life. Social and professional situations may become challenging, as people with this condition may avoid handshakes, wear dark clothing to conceal sweat stains, or limit their physical activities to prevent excessive sweating.
Treatment Areas
- Underarms
- Palms of hands
- Soles of feet

Treatment Modalities
While these treatments for hyperhidrosis are generally safe and well-tolerated, it's essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider who has experience in administering this treatment. We can provide personalised guidance and address any questions or concerns related to the procedure.
Anti-wrinkle is injected superficially to the area of concern. Anti-wrinkle’s mechanism of action on hyperhidrosis involves its ability to block the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine from nerve endings. This inhibition of acetylcholine release disrupts the communication between nerves and sweat glands, leading to a reduction in sweat production. The effects of botulinum toxin are not permanent. Over time, the nerve endings gradually regenerate, and the effects of the anti-wrinkle wear off. Typically, the reduction in sweat production lasts for about 4 to 6 months, after which the treatment may need to be repeated to maintain the desired level of relief from hyperhidrosis.
Morpheus8 is a fractional RF micro-needling device with programmable penetration depth and energy delivery. The applicator provides electrocoagulation and homeostasis. The needles penetrate into the various levels of the dermis and subcutis, where sweat glands are localised, and the area is coagulated. This can result irreversible thermolysis of the gland structure, meaning that the results have the potential to be permanent. The ability to treat multiple layers of subdermal tissue, provides an opportunity to address not only the superficial eccrine glands, responsible for sweating, but also the deep apocrine glands, responsible for odour.
