Sweat Botox

In addition to treating wrinkles, Botox is also used as an effective solution for various health issues such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating that can occur even without triggers such as stress or intense activity, and it negatively affects social life and psychological wellbeing; it is most commonly seen in the underarms, hands, feet and face.

Botulinum toxin helps reduce sweating by preventing sweat glands from becoming overactive; it temporarily blocks nerve signaling, preventing sweat glands from producing excess sweat. It is generally applied under local anesthesia.

Its effect generally becomes noticeable within a few days and lasts an average of 6-12 months. The treatment should be performed by an experienced healthcare professional following appropriate medical evaluation.

It is most commonly applied to the underarm area. The palms of the hands and soles of the feet are other commonly treated areas. It can also be applied to the face; in particular, it can help makeup last longer.
