Excessive Sweating — Palms

Service Description

WHAT IT IS Treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating of the hands — using injections that block the nerve signals to the sweat glands in the palms, substantially reducing sweat production for several months. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE IT Sweating palms is a genuinely limiting condition. It affects handshakes, holding a pen, using a phone or keyboard, and holding someone's hand — and it carries a social and professional cost far out of proportion to how trivial it sounds to people who do not have it. WHAT WE AIM FOR A marked reduction in palm sweating for four to six months, restoring normal confidence in everyday hand contact. WHO IT SUITS · Palms that sweat regardless of temperature or nerves · Avoiding handshakes or hand contact · Difficulty writing, gripping or using devices · Antiperspirants and topical treatments having failed · Social or professional impact from the condition TREATMENT DETAILS Appointment: 45–60 minutes Discomfort: The palms are sensitive; numbing is used and comfort measures taken Downtime: Temporary hand weakness possible for 1–2 weeks First results: 5–14 days Duration: 4–6 months Note: Priced higher than underarm treatment due to area and dosing FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why does this cost more than underarm treatment? The palms require a higher dose spread across many more injection points, and the treatment takes longer and demands greater precision. The price reflects both the product and the time involved. Is the treatment painful? The palms are among the more sensitive areas to treat. Numbing measures are used and the treatment is manageable, but it is fair to say it is less comfortable than underarm treatment. Will my hands feel weak afterwards? Some patients notice temporary mild weakness in grip or fine finger movement for one to two weeks. It resolves fully. If your work depends on fine hand precision, discuss the timing with Dr Selvi. Will I sweat more elsewhere instead? Some patients report a mild increase elsewhere, usually not troublesome. Dr Selvi will discuss this with you. How often will I need it repeated? Typically every four to six months. Many patients time treatment around summer and around key professional periods. Who will treat me? All injectable treatments at Dr Selvi Clinic are carried out by a doctor, following a face-to-face consultation and an assessment of your suitability.
