What Botox for Sweat Glands?

Botox, the brand name for botulinum toxin, is an injectable drug best famous for its ability to reduce wrinkles. But it also works well to reduce underarm perspiration. It reduces moisture beneath the arms by 82% to 87%. Dryness usually lasts three to twelve months. It is also used by doctors for other parts of the body that unusually sweat.

Who does
it works?

Botox functions by temporarily preventing the hormones that tell your glands to start sweating. The underarm region’s touch and sensibility are unaffected. For the duration of the Botox treatment for underarm sweating, just one office visit is required. Each armpit receives 25 shots throughout the process. Your healthcare professional uses a very little needle to inject a tiny quantity of Botox each time, just under the skin’s surface. However, if they do, they claim that it is more unpleasant than it is actually painful.

Procedure

The treatment area is first cleansed to avoid infection.
Although most patients are able to tolerate the discomfort of injections well, the doctor may numb the treatment area using a numbing cream or topical anesthesia.
Iodine is given after the treatment area is dried to identify sweat glands.
Points for injection are then marked.
The appropriate areas are then injected with a little amount using tiny needles. The amount differs for the armpits, soles, and palms.
Cold compresses are then applied to the treatment area to reduce pain, swelling, and bruising.

Treatment Results

You’ll be able to witness the effects of your Botox injections two days after the treatment. They won’t last long, though, so you’ll need to keep doing it to keep them in place. The results will be immediate, satisfying, and efficient. The length of time depends on the injection dosage. This approach, which is also quite successful, may be used to temporarily alleviate sweating beneath the arms, palms, feet, and cheeks. You can recall the outcome better if you repeat it.

Because Botox's results are only temporary, you'll eventually require further injections. Booster injections are often required every 7 to 16 months to treat underarm perspiration. For the hands and feet, results might not stay as long, and you could require another round of therapy after around six months.

Is hyperhidrosis botox safe?
