BOTOX for Hyperhydrosis


Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive and uncontrollable sweating beyond that required for regulation of the body temperature.

Hyperhidrosis can either be generalized or localized to specific parts of the body. Hands, feet, axilla (underarms), and the groin area are among the most active regions of perspiration due to the relatively high concentration of sweat glands; however, any part of the body may be affected. Patients afflicted with this condition often experience a reduction in their quality of life.


 
BOTOX therapy for excessive underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis)

The most exciting development in the treatment for hyperhidrosis is BOTOX Injections.  Botulinum toxin can disable the sweat glands for 6-9 months, and sometimes longer, and help you regain a normal life, free of the stress and anxiety associated with excessive sweating.
What is BOTOX?

BOTOX® is FDA-approved natural, purified protein used to treat severe underarm sweating. It works by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don't receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops. The positive effect from these treatments normally lasts at least 6 months. BOTOX has been available for over a decade and has been used to treat more than 1 million patients with various conditions, including spasticity, movement disorders and facial wrinkles. With FDA approval, the United States joins more than 20 other countries that have already approved the use of BOTOX for excessive sweating.



What are the BOTOX treatments like?

The use of botulinum toxin for the treatment of hyperhidrosis is most effective when performed by a physician who is received special training and who has experience with the procedure. Botulinum toxin injections require relatively little time, and do not demand any restrictions in work or leisure activities.

During the procedure, a very fine needle is used to inject small amounts of BOTOX just under the skin near the sweat glands responsible for excessive perspiration. Multiple injections are given based on our assessment of the area that needs to be treated. Shortly after the injections your sweating problems fade away.
