Hyperhydrosis
It is normal to sweat however excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) occurs when the body doesn’t need to cool down.
Although there is no cure for hyperhidrosis, at The Good Skin Company we can help you manage the condition through wrinkle injections which can be used to block sweat glands in a targeted area. The injections themselves have been proven over the years to be extremely safe and reliable. Because they are made of nothing more than purified protein, there is very little chance of any potential side effects.
There is no recovery time needed after receiving treatment, though we do recommend avoiding hot showers, saunas or strenuous exercise on the day of treatment.
Below are some frequently asked questions.
