Southern Skin and Wellness is located directly in the heart of the New Orleans CBD.
Patients who come in for this usually describe the same things:
If several of those are familiar, this is worth a consultation. Treatment is performed by Dr. Michael Lindley, MD.
An injectable neuromodulator blocks the nerve signal that tells the sweat gland to fire. The gland is intact and undamaged — it simply stops receiving the instruction.
Underarms are the most commonly treated area and the most predictable. Palms and soles respond well but the injections are more uncomfortable and numbing is used. Facial and scalp sweating can also be treated.
Expect it to work, and to work well. Of everything on this site, this is among the treatments with the most predictable result — patients are often surprised at how complete the change is.
Expect to repeat it. The effect wears off as nerve signalling recovers, so this is a maintained treatment rather than a permanent one. Most patients settle into two treatments a year, and many time the first one for late spring.
Expect some compensatory sweating elsewhere in a minority of patients — usually mild, and usually not a reason to stop.
