How sweat reduction treatment works
Sweat reduction works by stopping a chemical called acetylcholine from telling sweat glands to produce sweat. When the treatment is administered to areas like underarms, palms, or feet, it temporarily blocks the nerves that cause sweating, significantly lowering moisture production. The results usually last for several months, after which the treatment can be done again if needed. This procedure is especially helpful for those with excessive sweating, making their daily lives more comfortable and confident.

The results from sweat reduction treatment typically last between six to twelve months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, the area treated, and the severity of sweating prior to the procedure. Many clients find that as their results begin to wane, the intensity of sweating may gradually return to previous levels, rather than suddenly re-emerging. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain the effects and provide ongoing relief from excessive sweating.

It is recommended to avoid blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, for at least 24 hours prior to treatment to minimise the risk of bruising. Additionally, refrain from alcohol consumption for 24 hours before your appointment, as this can also contribute to increased swelling and bruising. Ensure you are well-hydrated and consider avoiding intense exercise on the day of your treatment to optimise results. Finally, arrive at your appointment with clean skin, free from skincare products, to facilitate a smooth procedure.

After receiving sweat reduction treatment, it is essential to follow specific aftercare advice to ensure optimal results and minimise side effects. Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours. Refrain from strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure (such as saunas or sunbeds), and alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours post-treatment. It is advisable to remain upright for several hours following the procedure, as lying down can affect the distribution of the product. If any swelling or bruising occurs, applying a cold compress gently can help alleviate these symptoms. Always adhere to the specific guidance provided by your practitioner for the best results.
