Botox for Hyperhidrosis

You need to sweat to keep your body's temperature under control in hot surroundings or during vigorous exercise. The sympathetic nervous system controls sweating.

In maybe, 1 percent of people, the sweat impulse exceeds the body's needs, a condition known as hyperhidrosis. The underarms, feet, and hands are the areas most commonly affected by this disorder. Many forms of treatment can successfully stop hyperhidrosis.

Can the sufferers of Hyperhidrosis benefit from the use of BOTOX® treatments?

If topical agents haven't cured your severe underarm sweating, BOTOX® has also been FDA-approved for that purpose. To relieve this condition sometimes, manipulating control of the chemical signals that stimulate the sweat glands can temporarily be accomplished with the use of BOTOX®.
Overactive sweat glands stop producing so much sweat when the glands don't receive the chemical signals.

How does a BOTOX® Treatment Work?

It is, for the most part, a rather simple and uncomplicated procedure. With a small needle, a small amount of BOTOX® is injected in the area of the underarm that is affected. The needle is stuck beneath the skin, so you may feel uncomfortable because of the injection. Injections are given as part of the treatment as and where required.

After I've had BOTOX®, What Will Happen Next?

Within the first four weeks of your injectsion, underarm sweating should decrease markedly. It is possible that you might continue experiencing some sweating as some sweat glands can be missed. If you don't notice a major decrease in sweating, you should return to the clinic.

What Is The Time Period That A BOTOX® Treatment Lasts?

In a new clinical experiment, the average time of response in patients who had BOTOX® was 201 days or about 6 months.213 days. This is not a cure; the symptoms will come back sooner or later, and you will realize when it is the correct time for a follow up treatment.
