Hypersweating, or excessive perspiration, is a widespread problem that causes embarrassment and discomfort on a daily basis. This dysfunction is often localized and can be treated with a variety of medical solutions, including botulinum toxin injections. Virtually painless, it provides a lasting block to perspiration and a rapid return to normal for patients.
Hypersudation in a nutshell
The phenomenon of sweating, which naturally regulates body temperature, involves the sweat glands, located in the dermis at multiple points on the body. Hyperhidrosis, or hypersudation, refers to the excessive production of sweat that can occur from time to time in an individual. While stress, prolonged exertion or heat are classic causes of hypersweating, some people suffer from chronic excessive perspiration. The hands, feet and forehead are often affected.
Treatment of hyperhidrosis with botulinum toxin (Botox)
The first solutions for treating excessive perspiration are antiperspirants or antiperspirants, or iontophoresis sessions, in which feet or hands are immersed in a bath in which an electric current circulates. When these measures aren’t enough, or for a less restrictive treatment, we can opt for botulinum toxin (botox) injections.
How botox injections work
Often performed in the hands, armpits or forehead to limit sweating, botox injections block the nerve transmission responsible for perspiration. To clearly identify the area to be treated, the doctor uses a starch powder that becomes colored on contact with perspiration. Subcutaneous injection is rapid, relatively painless and rapidly acts on the secretion capacity of the sweat glands.
The benefits of botulinum toxin injection
Best known for its aesthetic action on facial wrinkles, botulinum toxin is also highly prized for treating hypersudation. The advantage of this method is that it is non-invasive and effectively solves the problem of excessive perspiration. In the most advanced cases, this avoids the need for extensive measures such as the removal of sweat glands.
“Botulinum toxin represents a convincing, low-impact alternative to all other forms of treatment for hypersudation.”
Treatment supported every step of the way
With the support of a qualified physician,botulinum toxin injections can be carefully dosed and spaced out. Botox is effective for several months after treatment.
Fast-acting, long-lasting effects
The effects of botulinum toxin injections are felt within 3 days of injection, with full efficacy after a fortnight. Fully absorbable, the product naturally disappears from the body after 4 to 6 months. Renewed injections should then be considered to maintain the effect of botox on sweating.
Personalized follow-up before every injection
Although perfectly tolerated by most patients, botulinum toxin injections require medical supervision. That’s why the aesthetic doctor carries out a complete morphological assessment and adjusts the treatment individually to each profile. Sessions are also carefully prepared, with injection areas precisely identified and, if necessary, anaesthetic cream applied to limit discomfort.
