Managing excess sweating or hyperhidrosis can be a challenge, especially without proper attention from a qualified physician or dermatologist. A dermatologist can provide a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis of excessive sweating and discuss all treatment options. If you're struggling with this condition, you may want to consider botox ® (botulinum toxin) injections, along with other treatments such as prescription lotions, prescription pills, over-the-counter treatments, or surgery.
BOTOX (onabotulinumtoxinA) is approved by U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis in patients unable to obtain relief using antiperspirants. Normally, the body produces sweat to regulate body temperature. Sometimes, the nerves that control the sweat glands become overactive and excess sweat is produced. It can have a significant impact on self-confidence and can affect one's quality of life.
In the case of administering Botox®, the procedure aims at blocking the communication between nerves and sweat glands. This treats areas such as the underarms, palms, soles, scalp and forehead, and groin, in fact, pretty much any area with excessive sweating responds to treatment.
The procedure involves administering tiny injections of Botox®, so if you're looking for an effective solution, you may want to consider Botox for the affected area. The treatment takes between 10-20 minutes to perform, with only tiny pinpricks being felt. However, if needed, an anesthetic cream can be applied beforehand to numb the skin, or ice can be used during the procedure. Taking acetaminophen 1 hour before the procedure can also help reduce discomfort.
The Injections can be administered in a physician's office and require relatively little time, about 10 Minutes while the results in reduction of sweating begin to take effect in the first few days, but it may take 7-14 days to reach full effectiveness and last for upto 12 Months when a repeat treatment can be administered as the effects begin to wane.
For best results the use of Botox for the treatment of hyperhidrosis can be should be performed by a physician who has received special training and has experience with the procedure.
