Hyperhidrosis Injections Longueuil
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, goes beyond what the body needs to regulate its temperature. At our Dermapure clinics in Longueuil, injections for hyperhidrosis offer a non-surgical way to reduce sweating in a targeted area by temporarily reducing the nerve signals sent to the sweat glands. The underarms and the palms are the most frequently treated zones.
Sweating that soaks through clothing, interferes with handwriting or makes a handshake uncomfortable is often what leads a patient to look into this option. Injections for hyperhidrosis are usually considered once antiperspirants and everyday adjustments no longer bring enough relief. The number of injection points and the size of the zone covered depend on where the sweating occurs and how extensive it is.
Because hyperhidrosis and its impact differ from one patient to the next, hyperhidrosis injections at our Dermapure clinics in Longueuil always begin with a personalized medical consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether this treatment is the most appropriate option for you and review the areas affected, the expected results and the possible side effects, which will be discussed during your consultation.

What to Expect During Your Session
Personalized Assessment
Understanding your needs is the first step. During your consultation, we will evaluate the severity of your hyperhidrosis and discuss your goals. Based on this assessment, we will recommend a tailored treatment plan, including the ideal areas to target and the approximate frequency of treatments.
Proceed with Treatment
The treatment involves small injections administered directly into the affected areas, such as the underarms or palms. The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes and is well-tolerated by most patients. A topical anesthetic or ice may be used to minimize discomfort during the injections.
Return to Normal Activities
There is little to no downtime with hyperhidrosis injections. You can resume your regular activities immediately after treatment, although some patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which subsides within a few days.
Follow-Up & Maintenance
Most patients experience significant improvement for up to 6 months, depending on the treatment area and individual response. Repeat treatments are recommended as needed to maintain results and ensure continued relief from excessive sweating.
Contraindications
- Hyperhidrosis injections should not be administered in areas with skin infections, open wounds, or active irritation.
- Pregnant or nursing individuals should postpone treatment.
- Individuals with neuromuscular conditions should consult with their healthcare provider prior to treatment.
