What Causes Excessive Sweating?
Hyperhidrosis usually begins in childhood or adolescence and is caused when the body’s sweat glands become over stimulated releasing sweat more profusely. All our sweat glands release sweat in response to a signal from a nerve and it is when these signals are over active that Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) occurs. Sometimes the condition can be a sign of other diseases such as an over active thyroid gland or due to medication but in the majority of cases there is no cause for the condition and we are not entirely sure why the sweat glands are over stimulated. Sweating affecting the palms and soles of feet is inherited and most people also have a family member who is also affected.
Although the problem can adversely affect your quality of life, it is actually harmless. Any site on the body can be affected by Hyperhidrosis, with the palms, soles, and armpits most commonly affected. If the problem started when you were over 25 years old and also occurs during the night then Dr Conlon’s Aesthetic Clinic recommends that you see your GP before coming for treatment to ensure there is no other cause for the condition.
How does the treatment work?
Wrinkle Relaxing Injections are given in the areas surrounding the sweat glands. When we sweat, it is response to a signal sent from the nerves to the sweat glands. Following injection of the toxin just underneath the surface of the skin, the injections work on these nerves and prevents the signals being transmitted from the nerve to the sweat gland and stops the activity of the gland and as a results stops the sweating.
Does it really work?
There are several studies on large numbers of patients from around the world showing show that patients achieve a greater than >70% reduction in the amount of sweating and a substantially improved quality of life. These results are further improved with the use of Wrinkle Relaxing Injection type A (Azzalure) which is used at Dr Conlon’s Aesthetic Clinic. Results are seen within 1 week and last between 8 and 12 months.
How many treatments will I need?
Treatment results usually last between 8 and 12 months. However, it is not unusual for results to last significantly longer than this as the condition slowly returns following treatment. Most clients have the procedure repeated at 12-18 month intervals.
What will I experience after the treatment?
There will be small raised areas where the injection has occurred and this will disappear after a couple of hours. In addition a few clients can experience very slight bruising but other than this, there are no visible signs of the treatment. Following treatment of excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis) on the underarm area you will be able to return to normal activities immediately following the treatment.
Following treatment of excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis) on the palms and feet, there is the possibility of slight weakness in the muscles of these areas.
At Dr Conlon’s Aesthetic Clinic, safety is our first and foremost priority and we therefore advise that clients do not drive for 24 hours following this treatment even though the weakness is so slight as to be unlikely to unsafe, we prefer not to take any risks at all.

After seeing Dr Conlon she put me at ease as to what procedure would be suitable for me. More importantly as to what procedure would give me the best results.
I decided to try the cologen injections Dr Conlon did say that it would be about six weeks before I would start to see any change in my skin. I was a bit dubious but low and behold four weeks in I can now see a change. My skin is now looking smoother and fresher.
The thorough consultation to understand my needs (subtle Botox, not frozen) really put me at ease.
Treatment itself was professional did exactly what she said it would. Thank you.
I have had a Botox treatment and am thrilled with the results. The procedure itself was quick, virtually painless.
I've noticed a significant reduction in the appearance of my fine lines and wrinkles. My skin looks smoother and more refreshed.I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering it
