Excessive Sweating Treatment In Ireland

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, occurs when sweat glands are overactive, even without heat or physical activity. It is not related to hygiene and can be influenced by nerve signals, genetics, or medical factors. For many people, it significantly affects daily comfort and confidence.

The treatment works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands in the treated area. When these signals are reduced, the glands produce much less sweat. The effect is localised, meaning it only affects the treated area.

Most patients begin to notice improvement within a few days. The full effect typically develops within 1 to 2 weeks as the treatment settles. Results appear gradually and feel natural rather than sudden.

Results usually last between 4 and 6 months, although this can vary from person to person. Over time, nerve activity gradually returns, and repeat treatment may be recommended to maintain sweat control.
