Do you suffer from excessive sweating? Does this force you to change your clothes several times a day? Botox treatment can be a very effective solution to this problem.
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a condition in which you sweat more than is normal or necessary to regulate your body temperature. This can occur on different parts of the body, such as the armpits, palms of the hands, soles of the feet and even on the face. Constant sweating can be very unpleasant, both physically and emotionally. It can lead to embarrassment, social discomfort and reduced quality of life.
Treatment with botox is very effective against excessive sweating. During this treatment, small injections of botulinum toxin are administered to the body parts where you suffer from excessive sweating. This can be in the armpits, palms, or other areas, for example. The botulinum toxin works by blocking the nerve endings that control the sweat glands. This causes the sweat glands in the treated areas to stop producing sweat. It is important to note that this treatment works locally, meaning that only the treated areas sweat less. Other parts of your body continue to function normally and thus can still produce sweat.
At our clinic, a thorough consultation is always performed before we begin treatment. We advise clients to shave their armpits one to two days prior to treatment so that the area is easily accessible and the treatment can be performed more effectively. During this consultation, we discuss your symptoms, the areas to be treated and the amount of botox needed to achieve the desired results. It is important that you are well informed and have realistic expectations about the treatment.
The treatment itself is quick and virtually painless. During the procedure, a very small amount of botox is injected into the treated area. The amount of botox used depends on the size of the area and the degree of sweating. Generally, treatment takes about 15 to 30 minutes and you can resume your daily activities immediately after treatment.
Immediately after treatment, you may experience slight redness and swelling in the treated area. This is normal and usually disappears within a few hours to a few days. In some cases, small bruises may appear at the injection sites, but these also disappear quickly. The final result of the treatment usually becomes visible within two weeks. During this period, you will notice that sweating reduces significantly and in some cases even stops completely at the treated areas.
On average, the effect of a botox treatment against excessive sweating remains effective for three to four months. However, when using a special type of botox, such as Alluzience, the effect can last up to six months. After this period, the nerve endings will slowly begin to control the sweat glands again, and sweating may return. To maintain the desired results, it is important to repeat the treatment regularly. At our clinic, we keep in touch with our clients to ensure they maintain the best results and schedule follow-up appointments as needed.
