Sweating is a necessary bodily function to keep you cool, but excessive sweating (or hyperhidrosis) can be extremely frustrating and embarrassing and severely impact your daily life. By identifying the specifics of the condition, our experts can provide solutions that offer immediate relief, such as BOTOX® injections.
What is a Hyperhidrosis Treatment?
Hyperhidrosis treatment addresses excessive sweating in areas like the underarms, hands, feet, or face. One common method is BOTOX injections, which temporarily block the nerve signals that trigger sweat production. By disrupting this communication, BOTOX reduces sweat in the affected areas for several months.
The results are typically seen within a few days and can last anywhere from three to six months. BOTOX provides significant relief, improving both physical comfort and self-confidence by preventing visible sweat stains and odors. The procedure is minimally invasive, with little downtime and few side effects, making it a popular choice for those seeking a non-surgical solution.
While BOTOX is effective, other treatments, such as topical antiperspirants, oral medications, iontophoresis, or surgery, may be considered depending on the severity and location of the sweating. BOTOX is a well-tolerated option for managing hyperhidrosis and enhancing quality of life.
What Are the Benefits of a Hyperhidrosis Treatment?
Treating hyperhidrosis can reduce the amount you sweat to manageable levels, helping you live a normal life.
Who Are the Best Candidates For Hyperhidrosis Treatment?
Hyperhidrosis treatment is ideal for individuals seeking relief from excessive sweating. The best candidates typically include:
People with excessive sweating – Particularly in areas like the underarms, hands, feet, or face, beyond what is considered normal.
Those who have tried other treatments, such as prescription-strength antiperspirants, have not seen significant results.
Individuals in good overall health – To ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
People seeking long-term relief – Looking for a more lasting solution to improve comfort and confidence.
