Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Excessive Sweating Treatment in Inverness | Glow Medspa
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating beyond what the body needs for temperature regulation. For some people this can affect confidence, daily activities and comfort.
At Glow Medspa, a nurse-led aesthetic clinic in Inverness, hyperhidrosis treatment is available to help reduce excessive sweating in areas such as the underarms. The treatment works by temporarily reducing the activity of the sweat glands responsible for excessive perspiration.
This non-surgical treatment can help patients manage sweating more effectively and improve comfort in day-to-day life.
What areas can Hyperhidrosis treatment treat?
Treatment is most commonly used for excessive underarm sweating, but it may also be used in other areas depending on individual suitability.
Common treatment areas include:
• underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
• hands (palmar hyperhidrosis)
• feet (plantar hyperhidrosis)
During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your symptoms and discuss whether treatment may be appropriate.
How does Hyperhidrosis treatment work?
The treatment involves small injections placed into the skin to temporarily block the chemical signals that stimulate the sweat glands.
By reducing these signals, the sweat glands become less active, helping to decrease excessive sweating in the treated area.
The treatment targets only the sweat glands in the specific treatment area and does not affect the body’s overall ability to regulate temperature.
What happens during the appointment?
Your appointment will begin with a consultation at our Inverness aesthetic clinic to discuss your symptoms, medical history and treatment options.
If treatment is appropriate, a series of small injections are placed into the skin of the treatment area using a very fine needle.
The procedure usually takes around 20–30 minutes.
Most patients return to their usual daily activities shortly after treatment.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice a reduction in sweating within several days, with the full effect usually developing within 1–2 weeks.
The effects are temporary and typically last around 4–6 months, although this varies between individuals.
Repeat treatments may be recommended to maintain results.
