What is botox sweat treatment
Excessive sweat treatment with botulinum toxin (Botox) involves injecting the toxin into areas with overactive sweat glands, such as the underarms, hands, feet, and face. The toxin blocks the nerves that trigger sweat production, significantly reducing sweating in the treated areas.
Is botox for sweating for me?
This treatment may be suitable if you suffer from hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) that disrupts daily activities and have not found relief from other treatments. Ideal candidates are in good health and seek a non-surgical solution.
During the procedure
The area is cleaned and numbed with a cream. Small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected in a grid pattern to target the sweat glands. The procedure takes 30-45 minutes, and results appear within a few days to a week, lasting several months.
