What Is BOTOX for Hyperhidrosis?
Occasional sweating is a necessary and natural function that allows our bodies to stay cool while relieving our systems of toxins. Typically, most people sweat when exposed to extreme heat or during vigorous exercise. However, some of us sweat more than others and in some cases, this may be due to a medical issue. Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes too much sweat production, leading to embarrassment and loss of self-esteem. BOTOX for hyperhidrosis is a treatment designed to relieve excessive sweating and help you regain your control.
How Does BOTOX Help Hyperhidrosis?
BOTOX for hyperhidrosis treatment is FDA-approved and works by safely blocking the secretion of chemicals that activate sweat glands. When you visit our New York center, we will first assess your condition in order to determine the proper treatment course. If BOTOX is right for you, we will inject it into the area where the excessive sweating occurs. A topical anesthetic may be applied to manage discomfort beforehand, but the procedure itself is so quick that pain management might not even be necessary.
The injection process lasts roughly 10 minutes and requires zero downtime, allowing you to return to your normal daily activities right after your visit.
What Does BOTOX for Hyperhidrosis Treat?
Hyperhidrosis is an uncomfortable medical condition that causes excessive sweating. The major problem with this disorder is that it causes sweating even when it is unnecessary and unrelated to heat or exercise. Generally, a person suffering from hyperhidrosis will sweat excessively from a certain area like their palms, underarms, or face. Besides disrupting everyday life, this condition also ruins clothes, makes romance difficult, and complicates business interactions.
Severe cases can have serious practical consequences as well. Excessive sweat can make it hard for people to grip a car steering wheel, or shake hands. BOTOX is a minimally invasive injectable treatment that can effectively relieve this condition.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
The treatment is quite simple. We will begin the process by applying a numbing cream to your treatment area up to one hour before the injection. Then, we will clean the affected area and make many BOTOX injections with a very tiny needle. Bruising, swelling, or tenderness is possible after the procedure but is generally minor. Patients typically start seeing results in as little as five days, with full results becoming apparent after two weeks.
Results of BOTOX for Hyperhidrosis
