Botox against sweating

In recent years, Botox for sweating has become an increasingly popular treatment for people suffering from excessive sweating.

Botox is best known as a means of reducing wrinkles and rejuvenating the skin. Conducted research has revealed new areas of application of Botox in medicine and aesthetics, including sweat control.

When used to treat excessive underarm sweating, Botox has been shown to result in an 82 to 87% reduction in sweating.

Botox has been used in aesthetic medicine for many years. In 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of Botox for the treatment of severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating in the armpits.

In the skin, Botox specifically acts on the nerve impulses of the sweat glands and inactivates them, i.e. temporarily paralyzes the nerve endings that send impulses to the sweat glands, thus reducing sweat production.

Under normal conditions, the nervous system activates the sweat glands when the body temperature rises, and in this way the body automatically cools down.

However, in people who suffer from excessive sweating, the nerves that act on the sweat glands are overactive, leading to unwanted increased sweating.

Botox is applied directly to the area where excessive sweating occurs, such as the armpits, palms, soles of the feet , and the like.

It prevents excessive sweating only in the applied area, without affecting the muscles and sweating on the rest of the body.

Botox is applied to the skin with the smallest possible needle – a microneedle. With the use of an anesthetic cream, the procedure is almost painless.

The results of sweating therapy last up to 12 months, and various clinical studies have shown extremely high patient satisfaction with Botox treatment – up to 98%.

It is recommended to exclude antiperspirants from use a few days before the treatment. It is important that before the treatment, the doctor examines the areas that are planned to be treated and determines the appropriate therapy based on the condition.

Recovery after treatment is simple and almost non-existent. It is recommended to avoid saunas and solariums for a few days after application.

It is also recommended not to apply cosmetic products to the treated area until 12 hours after treatment.

The results begin to be visible approximately 2 to 4 days after the treatment, and the full effect of the treatment is usually visible within 2 weeks.

The use of Botox against sweating has many benefits. Thanks to many years of use and many studies conducted, it is one of the safest treatments.

Side effects after treatment are relatively rare. The appearance of transient pain at the site of application, bruising and slight swelling is possible.

Most of the mentioned side effects occur immediately after the treatment and pass spontaneously a few hours or days after the treatment.

Excessive sweating is characterized by more pronounced sweat production compared to the body’s normal needs for temperature regulation.

There are two basic types of hyperhidrosis, primary and secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis often does not have a clearly defined cause. It can affect different parts of the body including the palms, armpits, feet and face.

Primary hyperhidrosis usually begins in childhood or adolescence.

Secondary hyperhidrosis is the result of certain medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity, hormonal disorders, or neurological diseases. It can affect the entire body or appear localized.

The causes of excessive sweating can be varied. Genetic predisposition is a factor that significantly contributes to the occurrence of hyperhidrosis.

Other causes can be hormonal changes, other medical conditions, and psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, and the like.

If you notice symptoms of excessive sweating, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Diagnostic procedures consist of a clinical examination, blood tests to confirm or rule out another medical condition as the cause, and sweat tests.

In addition to Botox against sweating, it is also possible to use certain topical preparations that have a limited effect, oral medications and iontophoresis or surgical procedures in mild cases.

Botox treatment can bring significant relief to patients whose quality of life is impaired due to excessive sweating.

In cases where conventional treatments such as strong antiperspirants, oral medications or iontophoresis are not effective enough, antiperspirant Botox can be a very good alternative.

One of the most common areas of Botox treatment is the armpit area. If a person suffers from excessive sweating in the armpits, which can cause unpleasant odors and stains on clothing, antiperspirant Botox can provide long-lasting relief.

Botox is also successfully used to reduce sweating in the palm area. Research shows that the effectiveness of Botox treatment is 80-90% in reducing sweating on the palms.

In addition to the above, Botox is also applied to reduce excessive sweating on the feet.

Excessive sweating can negatively affect an individual’s emotional state. Patients often encounter stains on clothing and unpleasant odors that undermine their self-confidence and limit social interactions.

Botox antiperspirant therapy is an excellent choice for individuals who do not want complex procedures and want quick results.
