Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can significantly affect one’s quality of life. It’s more than just a physical inconvenience — it’s often a source of emotional stress and social discomfort. Fortunately, botulinum toxin injectionsoffer a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution.
Just one treatment can drastically reduce sweating for 6 to 12 months, helping you regain confidence and comfort in everyday life.
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweat production, unrelated to external triggers like heat or physical activity. The most commonly affected areas include:
This condition is often caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system, and may have genetic or physiological roots.
Treatment involves botulinum toxin, a purified protein that temporarily blocks the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands. By inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that stimulates sweat production, the treatment dramatically reduces perspiration in the targeted area.
The procedure involves precise intradermal injections into the affected zones, such as the underarms, hands, or feet.
Clinical studies show that botulinum toxin can reduce sweating by 80–90% in the treated areas. Results typically last between 4 and 12 months, after which the treatment can be safely repeated.
Most patients begin to notice a reduction in sweating within just a few days.
