Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. It often affects areas like the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, and face. Signs include sweating that significantly disrupts daily activities or causes social embarrassment.
Sweatox treatment involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into the sweat glands. This toxin temporarily blocks the nerve signals that stimulate sweating, thereby reducing the amount of sweat produced in the treated area. Results typically last from 6 to 9 months.
Most clients find Sweatox treatment relatively painless. The procedure involves using a fine needle for injections, and any discomfort is usually minimal and brief. Topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand to enhance comfort.
Common side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as minor bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Rarely, there may be temporary weakness or discomfort in nearby muscles. It's important to discuss any concerns with your practitioner before treatment.
Results from Sweatox treatment begin to be noticeable within a few days to a week, with maximum effectiveness reached within about two weeks. You can expect a significant reduction in sweating, allowing you to feel more comfortable and confident in various situations.
