At Innovate Aesthetics, we offer Botox® treatments for hyperhidrosis, a highly effective solution for individuals suffering from excessive sweating. This safe and minimally invasive procedure is designed to significantly reduce perspiration in targeted areas, providing long-lasting relief from the discomfort of hyperhidrosis.
What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by excessive sweating that goes beyond what the body needs to regulate its temperature. It can affect various areas of the body, including the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis), palms, soles of the feet, and even the face. Excessive sweating can interfere with daily activities, cause social anxiety, and lead to skin irritation.
How Does Botox® Treat Hyperhidrosis?
Botox® is best known for its use in cosmetic treatments to reduce wrinkles, but it is also an FDA-approved treatment for hyperhidrosis. When injected into the affected areas, Botox® temporarily blocks the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate sweat glands. This prevents the glands from producing excessive sweat, significantly reducing perspiration in the treated area.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Botox® for hyperhidrosis can be used to treat several areas prone to excessive sweating, including:
- Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
- Palms of the hands
- Soles of the feet
- Forehead and scalp
Here at Innovate Aesthetics, we focus on underarm treatments.
What to Expect During the Botox® for Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Consultation: During your consultation, we will assess your condition and discuss your medical history and goals. This helps us determine if Botox® is the right treatment for you.
The Procedure:
- The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed, and a numbing agent may be applied to ensure comfort during the injections.
- A series of small Botox® injections are administered just beneath the skin in the areas with excessive sweat production. The number of injections depends on the size and location of the treatment area.
- The procedure typically takes up to 45 minutes and requires no downtime, allowing you to resume your normal activities immediately after.
Aftercare: After the treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects usually resolve within a few days.
When Will I See Results?
Results from Botox® for hyperhidrosis typically begin to appear within 2-7 days after treatment, with full results noticeable after 2 weeks. You’ll experience a significant reduction in sweat production in the treated areas, allowing you to go about your daily activities with confidence.
How Long Do Results Last?
The effects of Botox® for hyperhidrosis can last anywhere from 4 to 12 months, depending on the individual. Most patients schedule maintenance treatments every 6-12 months to keep excessive sweating under control.
Is Botox® Safe for Treating Hyperhidrosis?
Yes, Botox® is a safe and FDA-approved treatment for hyperhidrosis when administered by a trained and experienced professional. Since it only affects the treated area and does not impact overall sweating, it is an effective and targeted approach to managing excessive sweating. Side effects are generally mild and temporary, such as localized bruising or discomfort at the injection site.
Who is a Good Candidate for Botox® Hyperhidrosis Treatment?
Botox® for hyperhidrosis is ideal for individuals who:
- Suffer from excessive sweating that disrupts daily life or causes social anxiety
- Have tried other treatments like prescription antiperspirants or medications without success
- Want a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution to reduce sweating
- Are in good overall health with no contraindications to Botox® treatment
It is especially beneficial for those who experience hyperhidrosis in localised areas, such as the underarms.
