Excessive Sweating

Overview: Excessive sweating treatment uses Botox injections to effectively control hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) in areas like underarms, palms, feet, or other body regions. Under dermatologist supervision, this treatment temporarily blocks nerve signals that trigger excessive sweat production, providing significant relief and improved quality of life.

How the Treatment Works: The treatment involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the sweat glands in the affected area. Botox works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that signals sweat glands to produce sweat. This interruption significantly reduces sweat production in the treated area. Your dermatologist carefully maps injection points to ensure comprehensive coverage of the sweat gland area, typically using a grid pattern for optimal results.

Who Is This Treatment For: This treatment is ideal for individuals experiencing excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) that interferes with daily activities, causes social discomfort, or hasn't responded to antiperspirants. It is suitable for excessive sweating in underarms, palms, feet, or other areas. Best candidates have been diagnosed with hyperhidrosis and have realistic expectations about the temporary nature of results.

Benefits:

• Significant reduction in excessive sweating
• Improved comfort and confidence
• Long-lasting results (6-12 months)
• Minimally invasive procedure
• Dermatologist-administered for precision and safety

Procedure & Sessions: The treatment begins with marking the treatment area and may include a starch-iodine test to identify active sweat glands. Local anaesthesia may be used, especially for palms or feet. Botox is injected in a grid pattern across the affected area. The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on the area. Results appear within days, with full effects visible in 1-2 weeks. Treatments are typically repeated every 6-12 months to maintain results.

Downtime & Safety: Minimal downtime is expected. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites for 1-2 days. For palm or foot treatments, some temporary weakness may occur but typically resolves quickly. The treatment is performed under strict dermatologist supervision using authentic, US-FDA approved Botox. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment.

Results & Aftercare: Reduction in sweating becomes noticeable within days, with optimal results visible within 1-2 weeks. Results typically last 6-12 months, after which nerve signals gradually return and sweating resumes. Your dermatologist will provide aftercare instructions. Regular maintenance treatments help sustain results. The treatment significantly improves quality of life for those with hyperhidrosis.
