Sweating
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating that is not necessarily related to heat or physical activity. It can affect various parts of the body, such as the underarms, palms, feet, and face. The treatment for hyperhidrosis aims to reduce or control excessive sweating and improve the quality of life for individuals with this condition.
Armpits
Botox injections can effectively treat excessive sweating. They block nerve signals that trigger sweat gland activity. During the procedure, tiny injections are made into the skin of the armpits, which temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine that stimulates sweat production. Results last for several months before a repeat treatment is needed.
Palms of hands
Botox can treat palmar hyperhidrosis, which is excessive sweating in the palms of the hands. The injections work by blocking signals from nerves that stimulate sweat production. Botox is injected into the palms, targeting the sweat glands, and reducing excessive sweating. The results last for several months before a repeat treatment is necessary.
Soles of feet
Botox injections can treat plantar hyperhidrosis that causes excessive sweating in feet. The procedure involves injecting Botox into the soles of the feet to target the sweat glands and reduce sweating. The treatment is safe and effective, and results last for several months.
Scalp
Botox injections are an effective treatment for excessive sweating on the scalp (craniofacial hyperhidrosis). The treatment involves injecting Botox into the scalp to block nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands in the area. This provides relief for several months before a repeat treatment is required.
