The Care Pathway
1. Pattern & Severity Assessment
Your dermatologist assesses the pattern, extent and triggers of your sweating.
2. First-Line Treatment
Prescription-strength antiperspirants are tried as the initial treatment.
3. Procedural Treatment if Needed
Injectable treatment or other procedures are considered for resistant, localised sweating.
4. Long-Term Plan
A maintenance plan is set to sustain results over time.
“Your dermatology care team supports you through every stage, from evaluation to recovery and follow-up.”
Expected Benefits and Possible Risks
A stepwise treatment approach achieves significant reduction in excessive sweating for the great majority of patients.
Every treatment has potential risks. Your dermatologist will discuss your individual risks before treatment.
Recovery & Follow-up
Antiperspirant treatment shows results within days to weeks, while injectable treatment effects build over several days and last for months.
Your dermatologist will schedule any maintenance treatment needed to sustain your results.
Careful follow-up and guidance on skincare all play an important role in achieving the best possible outcome.
