The Use of Botox for the Treatment of Hyperhidrosis

What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which you sweat excessively. This means you sweat more than necessary to regulate and cool your body.

There are two main forms of this disorder: primary and secondary hyperhidrosis. In primary hyperhidrosis, the exact cause is often unknown, and it usually affects specific areas such as your hands, feet, underarms, and face. Secondary hyperhidrosis, on the other hand, occurs as a result of other medical conditions or the intake of certain medications and can affect your entire body.

This excessive sweating can be very burdensome for you, as it can affect both your social and professional life. However, there are various treatment options, including the use of medications, special antiperspirants, Botox injections, or even surgical procedures to remove or deactivate the overactive sweat glands. Which treatment is best suited for you depends on the severity and type of your hyperhidrosis.

The doctors at Aesthetiqua will be happy to advise you without obligation to find the best treatment method for you.

How Botox Helps with Severe Sweating

Botox is an effective means of treating hyperhidrosis, i.e., excessive sweating.

It is particularly used when conventional methods such as antiperspirants are not sufficient. Botox, actually a neurotoxin, is injected in small amounts specifically into the skin to influence the sweat glands.

How does that work? Botox blocks the nerve signals that normally activate the sweat glands. When these signals are stopped, the sweat glands produce less sweat. The treatment is quick and usually performed on an outpatient basis. First, the skin is disinfected, and then the Botox is injected into the affected areas with a fine needle.

The effect takes effect after a few days and can last for several months. After that, a touch-up is usually needed.

Many affected individuals report a significant improvement in their quality of life, as the constant worry about sweat stains and body odor is significantly reduced.

Excessive sweating can be disruptive and unpleasant in daily life, affect social life, limit clothing choices, and even negatively impact physical health. Fortunately, there is an effective and long-lasting treatment method. Whether you sweat heavily on your head, face, underarms, or feet – a Botox® treatment can provide relief.

Who is the Treatment Suitable for?

Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis is particularly suitable for individuals who suffer from extreme sweating and for whom conventional methods like strong antiperspirants provide no relief. It is ideal for people who sweat excessively on their hands, feet, underarms, or even face.

This treatment is also a good option for those who experience social or professional limitations due to their sweating, such as frequent discomfort in public or difficulties performing activities that require dry hands.

Before the treatment, however, a thorough medical examination should be carried out to ensure that there are no underlying medical conditions causing the sweating. Furthermore, you should have realistic expectations regarding the results and possible side effects.

What to Consider after Treatment

It is important to have realistic expectations for a Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis.

You should know that Botox effectively reduces sweat production, but cannot guarantee complete dryness.

The duration of Botox’s effect can vary, but usually lasts between four and six months. After that, a touch-up is necessary.

Most patients experience a significant improvement in their quality of life, as the treatment significantly minimizes the social and professional limitations associated with excessive sweating. Nevertheless, the result varies from person to person. Open communication with the treating doctors at Aesthetiqua about possible results and side effects is important to avoid unrealistic expectations and potential disappointments.
