What is excessive sweating?
Sweating is a natural process that we all experience. You probably use deodorant every day, but sometimes that's not enough. You often notice stains on your clothes, odors, and just an uncomfortable feeling. Even with minimal effort or in cold temperatures, you're still sweating. At that point, we refer to it as excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis. This can be very bothersome and bring about feelings of insecurity. With botox, we can alleviate these issues.

During the treatment
How does a treatment for excessive sweating work?
Your treatment begins with a consultation. Here, you discuss your concerns so your practitioner can create an appropriate treatment plan. You can also ask any questions. Once everything is clear, your armpits are cleaned and marked. With several injections, botox is injected into both armpits.
The botox blocks the nerve signal transmission to the sweat glands. Normally, the nerve sends a signal to the glands when they need to produce sweat. Botox prevents this signal from being transmitted, addressing the sweating issue at its core.
Result
Before and after results for excessive sweating
Before a botox treatment for excessive sweating, you may experience discomfort and visible sweat stains due to overactive sweat glands. These glands cause unwanted sweating, which can impact your daily life and undermine your self-confidence.
After the botox treatment for sweating, you will notice significant improvement. Botox reduces the activity of your sweat glands, resulting in less sweat and odor. Within a few days after the treatment, you will see a reduction in sweat stains and improved comfort.
The effects of botox for excessive sweating usually last three to six months. After this period, your sweat glands may become more active again, and a follow-up treatment may be necessary to maintain the results. With botox for sweating, you can effectively control your sweat gland issues and improve your daily comfort and self-confidence.
After the treatment
Aftercare for excessive sweating treatment
The aftercare for a botox treatment for sweating is short, but it's important to keep a few things in mind. Immediately after the treatment, the treated area may be sensitive, but this usually fades quickly. To minimize swelling and bruising, we recommend avoiding intensive physical activity for the first 24 hours after the treatment and avoiding direct sunlight and heat. It's also important not to lie down for several hours after the treatment to prevent the botox from spreading to other parts of the body.
