THyperhidrosis treatment in Lviv

When sweat is secreted through the glands on the human skin, it is completely natural, because in this way the body protects itself from overheating and removes toxins. Moderate sweating does not cause problems, which cannot be said about hyperhidrosis. About 3% of people of different nationalities suffer from it.

Excessive sweating occurs on the face, feet and palms, on the back and under the armpits. It is not considered a disease, and hyperhidrosis occurs due to the presence of bad habits, stress, hormonal disruptions or taking certain medications. However, this problem puts men and women in an awkward position, regardless of age, because sweat glands that work excessively guarantee skin irritation and the appearance of an unpleasant odor, as well as the appearance of completely unsightly spots, regardless of the season.

Hyperhidrosis is a guarantee of constant discomfort. It lowers self-esteem, causes anxiety and forms complexes. Specialists of the Mediostar clinic in Lviv treat excessive sweating with Botox injections, injecting botulinum toxin into problem areas. The drug blocks nerve receptors and the sweat glands do not receive the necessary signal, so they do not secrete moisture.

Principle of hyperhidrosis treatment technology

Injections involve the introduction of botulinum toxin type A into areas with increased sweating, such as armpits, palms, feet and others. The principle of the method is very simple: botulinum toxin blocks nerve signals to the sweat glands, which reduces their activity and sweating.

The procedure for treating hyperhidrosis in Lviv is effective and safe, has no age restrictions and contraindications. Thanks to modern technologies, you will forget what excessive sweating is forever!
