At Binsina Skin & Laser Clinic, sweat reduction injections offer an effective solution for managing excessive sweating, a condition known as hyperhidrosis. This treatment targets overactive sweat glands to reduce unwanted perspiration in areas such as the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, and forehead.

Hyperhidrosis can significantly impact daily life, causing discomfort and embarrassment, but sweat reduction injections provide relief by addressing the root cause.

The treatment involves injecting small amounts of a neurotoxin (commonly botulinum toxin) directly into the sweat glands in the affected area. This neurotoxin temporarily blocks the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands, preventing them from producing excess sweat. The procedure is relatively quick and minimally invasive, typically taking 30 minutes, depending on the area treated. A fine needle is used to administer the injections, with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime required.
