Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

About Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive and unpredictable sweating that significantly exceeds the body’s need for temperature regulation. This service addresses primary focal Hyperhidrosis, which typically affects the underarms (axilla). The treatment involves using a neuromodulator (such as BOTOX or a similar product) to target the nerve signals responsible for activating the sweat glands. This treatment is best suited for individuals for whom strong, clinical-grade antiperspirants have failed to provide relief. The definitive result clients can expect is a dramatic reduction in sweating—often 80% or more—leading to drier skin, improved comfort, and freedom from embarrassment.

How it Works

Technology

The treatment uses a neuromodulator, which is purified protein complex. When injected into the skin where sweat glands are concentrated, the neuromodulator acts as a targeted messenger block. It temporarily inhibits the release of acetylcholine—the chemical signal that travels from the nerve endings to the eccrine (sweat) glands. By blocking this chemical message, the glands are prevented from producing sweat, effectively turning off the excessive sweating mechanism in the treated area.

Duration

A typical hyperhidrosis treatment session is efficient, lasting approximately 30 to 45 minutes, including preparation and treatment time. The procedure involves a series of small, shallow injections administered to targeted areas to reduce excessive sweating.
Results are temporary, and to maintain dryness, repeat treatments are usually required every 6 to 12 months, depending on individual metabolism and the severity of hyperhidrosis.

Results

The therapeutic effects are not immediate. Most clients notice a reduction in sweating within 2 to 4 days after treatment, with full effects typically achieved within 1 to 2 weeks. Results are long-lasting, usually providing relief for 4 to 6 months, significantly reducing excessive sweating and improving comfort during daily activities.

Safety and Comfort

Treatment for Hyperhidrosis using neuromodulators is a very safe and clinically accepted procedure with minimal side effects.

Safety: The procedure is performed under the direct medical supervision of our team, ensuring precise dosing and safe injection technique. The effects are localized and temporary; the neuromodulator does not affect other bodily functions or signals outside the targeted injection site. The body continues to sweat normally in other areas, maintaining proper temperature regulation.

Comfort: Hyperhidrosis treatment is generally well tolerated. Clients may feel brief, mild pinching sensations during the procedure as the medication is administered using very fine needles. The treatment is quick, and no downtime is required—most clients return to normal activities immediately afterward.

Quick answers to questions you may have

Is the sweat redirected to other areas of my body?

No. The body contains millions of sweat glands, and only a tiny percentage are treated. The remaining glands are fully capable of handling the body’s temperature regulation needs, and there is no evidence of compensatory sweating elsewhere.

How much does this procedure cost, and is it covered by insurance?

Costs vary depending on the area being treated and the amount of product required. While the procedure is sometimes covered by private insurance plans if deemed medically necessary, we recommend checking your specific plan details after your initial consultation.

How long after treatment can I resume exercise?

We advise avoiding strenuous activity, saunas, and hot tubs for approximately 24 hours after the procedure to prevent the product from migrating from the injection sites and to ensure optimal results.

What is the typical difference in sweat level after treatment?

Patients report a dramatic reduction, often experiencing an 80% to 90% decrease in excessive sweating in the treated areas. This allows most individuals to stop relying on prescription antiperspirants.

Sarah was amazing! Extremely knowledgeable and honest. I felt comfortable during our appointments and I’m very happy with my results. 10/10 would recommend!

Julie Simpson

Meghann and her team are incredibly professional, knowledgeable and supportive from start to finish. It is very reassuring to have her consult with her medical director on treatment plans and to ensure all questions and any concerns are addressed. I felt confident in her suggestions and plan, and was even scheduled for a follow up check in. I’ve also had a facial service with Jenn and felt so pampered and relaxed. The environment is so calm and welcoming and I highly recommend this team to help take care of your skin’s needs.

Deborah Montgomery

This is a perfect spot to get everything you may want for that self-care we all crave. Love the atmosphere and the staff are fabulous!

Barbara Chartrand

I've been battling rosacea for a long time and had lost hope of getting any effective treatment - until I saw Meghann and Sarah. Thanks to their expertise and guidance, I've seen a dramatic improvement and could not be happier!

Lexi Pollard

I had my first ever skin consult at Norda a month ago - I have my wedding coming up in less than 6 months and just wanted some insight what I could do to prep for it/address some of my concerns. Megann was SO informative, educated, and safe when it came to any procedures or options she was sharing with me. We ended up doing our first round of Neuromodulators/micro-needling and I had zero questions and full confidence in her by the time we were starting! Could not recommend her enough. My results this far are exactly what she explained would happen and I’m so happy with them!

Shannon Unger

Meghann took the time to explain all my options fully and completely. She listened to my full health overview and my concerns and connected some dots and a few things which will help my overall health, including my skin. What I really loved was the zero pressure environment. Meghann asked questions about my lifestyle and suggested other ways to start my program so that I could enjoy the summer outside. It was very clear in the thorough descriptions of products, services, and treatments with all pros and cons identified, that Meghann is a very qualified professional, and it also should be mentioned that she is down to earth, which makes it also fun to go to an appointment where needles may be involved! The environment is beautiful! The location easy to access and I would like to add, my husband had the misfortune of breaking his collarbone very badly on 2 occasions and it was Dr. Dowding, Meghann's husband who performed the second surgery with great success. The team are fantastic. Just what North Bay needs.

Lisa McCool-Philbin

Both Sarah and Megan were professional and took their time, answered questions and ensured I was comfortable. The setting is calming and of course they both have a great sense of humor which puts you at ease. I would certainly recommend Sarah and Megan ! Cannot wait for the official opening
