EXCESSIVE SWEATING

BOTOX

Botox is a natural, purified protein with the ability to temporarily block the secretion of the chemical that is responsible for “turning on” the body’s sweat glands. By blocking, or interrupting this chemical messenger, botulinum toxin “turns off” sweating at the area where it has been injected. Botox injections are very shallow, meaning that the medicine is injected just below the surface of the skin, where it remains.

Research and our doctor’s experience demonstrates that treating excessive sweating of the armpits, hands and feet is safe and effective.

Botox injections can be an effective treatment for excessive sweating, a condition called hyperhidrosis. The injections work by blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat production.

Here are some things to know about Botox injections for excessive sweating:

Procedure: The procedure involves multiple small injections of Botox into the skin in the targeted area, such as the underarms, hands, or feet. The injections work by blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat production, reducing the amount of sweat produced.

Areas Treated: Botox injections for excessive sweating are most commonly used to treat the underarms, but can also be used to treat the hands or feet.

Recovery: There is usually no downtime associated with Botox injections for excessive sweating. Mild swelling or discomfort at the injection site may occur, but this typically resolves within a few days.

Results: The effects of Botox injections for excessive sweating can last for up to six months. Further treatments may be needed to maintain the effects.

Risks: Botox injections for excessive sweating are generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced provider. Some potential side effects may include mild discomfort, bruising, or temporary weakness in the treated area.

It is essential to consult with a qualified provider to determine if Botox injections for excessive sweating are a suitable treatment option for you and to discuss any potential risks and side effects associated with the treatment.

BENIFITS OF BOTOX

Botox injections for excessive sweating, also called hyperhidrosis, have several benefits:

Reduced sweating: Botox injections can significantly reduce the amount of sweat produced in the targeted area, such as the underarms, hands or feet. This can provide relief for those who experience excessive sweating and may also help with social or work-related anxiety associated with the condition.

Non-invasive: The procedure is non-invasive and does not require surgery. The injections are quick and usually take less than 30 minutes.

Long-lasting: The effects of Botox injections for excessive sweating can last up to six months, which means fewer treatments are needed to maintain the desired results.

Safe: Botox injections for excessive sweating are considered safe when administered by a qualified and experienced provider. The side effects of the treatment are typically minimal and temporary, such as mild pain or bruising at the injection site.

Improved quality of life: Excessive sweating can be embarrassing and can significantly affect a person's quality of life. Botox injections can provide relief from the condition and improve a person's self-confidence and emotional well-being.
