Treatment for Excess Sweating
Hyperhydrosis is the medical term for excess sweating. Just like anti wrinkle injections stop muscle movement, they can also be used to stop the nerves signaling our sweat glands. Excessive sweating primarily affects the hands, feet, armpits, and face. These areas can all be treated with Botulinum Toxin.
What to Expect
Like all procedures, individual results will differ from person to person. On average, results will last 3-9 months. Repeat sessions are necessary to maintain results.
Each affected area will require multiple points to deliver the botulinum toxin superficially into the skin., however, topical numbing cream can be applied reducing most of the discomfort.
Post Appointment
Most people will notice a reduction in sweating within 3 to 14 days.
Results can last up to 9 months.
