Treatment for excessive foot sweating - PiedRéseau Shawinigan
PiedRéseau Shawinigan offers a specialized service for the treatment of excessive foot sweating, a condition known as hyperhidrosis. This service is designed to address the challenges faced by individuals suffering from this disorder, particularly in the soles of the feet, which are prone to excessive perspiration due to a high concentration of sweat glands. Our clinic provides a range of effective treatment options tailored to meet the needs of each patient.
One of the primary treatments available at our clinic is iontophoresis. This non-invasive procedure involves the use of a mild electric current to reduce excessive sweating in the feet. Typically, patients undergo sessions lasting 20 to 30 minutes, with noticeable improvements often seen after several weeks of treatment. Additionally, we offer professional foot care services that help maintain overall foot health, addressing issues that may arise from excessive sweating.
For those who do not respond to conventional treatments, we also provide botulinum toxin injections, which can significantly reduce sweating by blocking nerve signals to the sweat glands. This procedure is less invasive than surgery and can offer lasting results. Furthermore, our podiatrists can recommend appropriate footwear and antiperspirant shoes to complement the treatment and enhance comfort.
The PiedRéseau Shawinigan team includes Dr. Geneviève Champagne, the podiatrist-owner, who has been leading the clinic since 2010, along with Émilie Tardif, a podiatrist, and Manon Malenfant, our administrative assistant. Together, they ensure that all patients receive the care and attention they need to manage their foot health effectively.
