Botox for Sweating Treatment
What Is Botox for Sweating Treatment?
Botox for sweating treatment is a non-surgical procedure developed to control excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Botulinum toxin injections temporarily block the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production. It is most commonly applied to the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet.
Excessive sweating can negatively affect social life, comfort, and self-confidence. Botox offers a safe and effective way to manage this condition quickly and with minimal discomfort.
What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive and uncontrollable sweating beyond the body’s normal needs for temperature regulation. It can be caused by genetic factors, hormonal changes, stress, or overactive nerve signals.
Which Areas Can Be Treated with Botox?
• Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
• Palms (palmar hyperhidrosis)
• Soles of the feet (plantar hyperhidrosis)
• Forehead and face
• Neck, back, and other localized areas ✅
How Is the Procedure Performed?
The treatment begins with identifying the most affected areas. In some cases, a starch-iodine test may be used to map sweat glands. The area is cleansed, and botulinum toxin is injected into the skin using fine needles. The procedure takes approximately 20–30 minutes. A numbing cream can be applied beforehand for added comfort.
When Do Results Appear?
Initial effects begin within 3–7 days, and the full effect lasts about 4–6 months. Duration may vary depending on sweat intensity and individual response.
