Anyone suffering from excessive sweating will understand how it can interfere with their daily activities and the inconvenience caused. Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a common problem which affects up to 3% of people. Despite hyperhidrosis’s serious negative impact on those who suffer from it, most never seek treatment. Don’t worry; at Fine Plus Medical Center, Excess sweating is treated with a simple non-surgical procedure, giving you smooth, dry skin and confidence in your day-to-day life. This non-surgical procedure uses Botox to stop excessive sweating by preventing excess nerve signals in the overactive sweat glands.
Typically, your sweat glands activate your nervous system when your body temperature rises. As a result, our body automatically cools itself. When you receive Botox injections directly into the affected area, your overactive nerves are partially paralyzed. When your sweat glands stop receiving signals from the nerve, you don’t sweat.
This Botox treatment is highly effective and will reduce symptoms by around 90%. This has no downtime, and you can resume your normal activities immediately. The result usually takes 2 and 4 days to notice and two weeks for the full effect. The effects of Botox are temporary, underarm sweating, and booster injections are generally needed after every seven months. For the hands and feet, you may need to repeat your botox treatment after about six months.
