Hyperhydrosis treatment

Service Description

What is Botox for hyperhidrosis? Botox for hyperhidrosis is a non‑surgical treatment used to reduce excessive underarm sweating. It works by blocking the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands, helping to significantly reduce sweating in the treated area. The treatment is highly effective for most people, with results typically lasting 2 to 6 months, and in some cases up to 12 months. Botox treatment can be safely repeated if symptoms return.Botox injections block the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands, reducing sweat production in treated areas by up to 87%. How It Works • Mechanism: Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) temporarily stops the chemical signals from nerves that activate your sweat glands. • Areas Treated: Most commonly used for severe underarm (axillary) hyperhidrosis, but can also treat palms, feet, and the face. • Timeline: Results start to show in 2 to 4 days, with full dryness achieved within 2 weeks. • Duration: Effects typically last between 4 to 12 months before nerve endings regenerate and maintenance is needed. The Procedure • Mapping: A minor starch-iodine test is often painted on the skin to highlight where sweating is most active. • Injections: A practitioner uses a very fine needle to give 15 to 20 tiny, superficial micro-injections across a grid pattern in each armpit. • Time: The entire appointment takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and you can return to normal daily activities right away
