Botulinum toxin for Sweating
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition where one sweats excessively in situations unrelated to temperature and weather. It commonly affects the underarm area and often causes anxiety and stress, especially if clothing gets regularly soiled or sweat drips down the body.
Satisfied patients who have been treated with Botulinum toxin for underarm hyperhidrosis feedback that their self-confidence greatly increases once the excessive sweating is under control.
How does Botulinum toxin reduce excessive sweating?
Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands, thereby reducing sweating in the injected area. Botulinum toxin is generally very effective – a 90% reduction in sweating is achieved by most patients after one treatment. Body odor generally improves as a direct result of the reduced sweating, however this is not always the case.
What happens during a Botulinum toxin treatment for hyperhidrosis?
Anaesthetic cream is applied, and tiny injections of Botulinum toxin using a very fine needle are administered in a gentle, systematic manner. The treatment takes about 10 minutes. Most patients feel a series of quick stings but discomfort is minimal and brief.
