(openPR) - Shape Medical Wellness Center is changing the way Atlantans approach the summer this year. Mired by the embarrassment of excessive perspiration, the vast majority of individuals living with this condition are unaware of the new treatment options available that are aimed at controlling their overactive sweat glands. As a result, individuals are opting out of their summer activities due to feelings of shame and insecurity. “I see it all the time, those who are suffering limit the amount of time they spend in social settings because they fear they will be judged” says Mark McKenna, MD, licensed in surgery and medicine and general practitioner at Shape Medical.

Approximately 1% of all Americans suffer from the condition clinically known as hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. It can occur in the hands, armpits, feet, face, trunk, or a combination of these locations. Hyperhidrosis usually begins during childhood and is said to have a strong hereditary component. About 70% of those seeking treatment reported having a close relative with the disorder. While the cause still remains uncertain, a variety of effective, yet unconventional treatment options are beginning to surface, with the Botox Injection leading the pack.

Botox treatment works by blocking the transference of acetylcholine, a chemical released by nerves to stimulate the sweat glands. Without this stimulation, the local production of sweat is stopped. This FDA approved substance eliminates the key ingredient the sweat glands needs to function, causing affected individuals to experience at least 50% less perspiration in their armpits, hands and feet.

Shape Medical Wellness Center of Atlanta, GA, educates individuals on ways to counteract excessive sweating problems through the proper administration of injected Botox. Shape Medical was featured on 92.9 Dave fm radio, stressing the importance of delivering the highest grade of Botox coupled with precise placement for optimal results that can last for up to 7 months.
By informing the public about the benefits of botox, for a condition that keeps people inside, Atlantans can have confidence, knowing that a simple procedure can dry up their inhibitions to be more active this summer.
