Sweating is a natural process of the human body that regulates skin temperature. However, some men and women experience excessive sweating, which is a condition called hyperhidrosis.
Many people have probably had to hide their sweaty armpits or hands at least once in their lives. If this happens on rare occasions, like a very hot day, there is nothing to worry about. However, if profuse sweating is a constant companion, many inconveniences may arise. You might constantly wonder if you’re carrying an unpleasant odour of sweat, or maybe you are forced to change your clothes more often than most people. It is likely that, with time, these worries worsen the quality of life and encourage avoiding social plans.
How is the problem of excessive sweating solved?
Hyperhidrosis is incurable, so people look for various ways to fight it. For example, they use antiperspirants for the armpits, but the effect is often short-lived.
Some patients suffering from profuse sweating in the armpits are determined to undergo liposuction and remove sweat glands in this area of the body.
However, today it’s possible to say goodbye to profuse sweating for a long time without surgical intervention. To combat hyperhidrosis, doctors use botox injections.
Is this a safe way to combat sweating?
At the Primum Estetica clinic, the injections into the areas affected by sweating are performed by professional and competent doctors, making it safe and effective to treat hyperhidrosis.
How does botulinum toxin injection work?
When this injection enters the body, it blocks certain receptors, so the transmission of the nerve impulses from the nerve to the muscle is suppressed. This leads to the sweat gland losing the ability to contract and therefore the patient sweats much less.
Is the procedure painful?
No, a numbing cream is applied before the injection.
Will the body be able to eliminate dangerous substances following the injection, or will they not accumulate in the body?
When reducing sweating with botox, harmful substances are not retained, which means that the body successfully removes them.
How long does the procedure take?
From 10 to 15 minutes.
When will I feel the result?
The result is felt after two weeks of the procedure.
How long will I be able to forget about hyperhidrosis?
After the botox injection, you can forget the problem of increased sweating for around 6-12 months.
Who can perform this procedure?
Botox injections must be performed by a doctor.
