Hyperhydrosis Treatment

Service Description

Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxin that is commonly used to treat hyperhidrosis, a condition characterized by excessive sweating. Here's how Botox treats hyperhidrosis: Mechanism of Action: Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerves that supply the eccrine glands, which are responsible for producing sweat. These glands are found throughout the body, particularly in areas like the underarms, palms, and feet where hyperhidrosis is most prevalent. Injection Procedure: During treatment, a healthcare provider administers Botox through a series of small injections directly into the affected area, such as the armpits. The toxin then binds to nerve endings near the injection site. Nerve Signal Inhibition: Once bound to the nerve endings, Botox inhibits the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that stimulates the sweat glands to produce sweat. By blocking this neurotransmitter, Botox prevents the glands from receiving the signal to produce excessive sweat. Duration of Effect: The effects of Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis are temporary. Typically, it can provide relief from excessive sweating for about 4 to 12 months, depending on the individual and the location of treatment. Repeat Treatments: To maintain the reduction in sweating, repeat treatments are usually necessary as the effects wear off over time. Many individuals find that regular treatments can significantly improve their quality of life by reducing excessive sweating and its associated social and practical challenges. Overall, Botox injections for hyperhidrosis are considered safe and effective when administered by trained healthcare professionals. It provides a non-surgical option for managing excessive sweating in specific areas of the body, offering relief for those affected by this condition. **Once you book your appointment you will receive a link to place deposit for your services****
