When you think of injectables like BOTOX® Cosmetic, you might picture them as a solution for wrinkles and fine lines. However, did you know that BOTOX Cosmetic is also an effective treatment for excessive sweating, a condition known as hyperhidrosis?
This versatile treatment can help you gain control over embarrassing sweat issues, allowing you to feel more confident in your daily life.
How Does BOTOX Cosmetic Help with Excessive Sweating?
BOTOX Cosmetic works by targeting the nerves responsible for activating sweat glands. These nerves send signals that trigger your body to sweat, but BOTOX Cosmetic injections block these signals, effectively “turning off” the sweat glands.
As a result, the glands stop producing sweat in the treated areas, offering significant relief. This effect is particularly beneficial for areas prone to excessive sweating, such as your underarms, palms, feet, and forehead.
Many patients notice a substantial decrease in sweating, allowing them to feel more comfortable in social and professional situations without worrying about embarrassing sweat stains or odor.
What to Expect During the Treatment
The BOTOX Cosmetic procedure for excessive sweating is straightforward and quick, typically taking about 30 minutes. The doctor uses a fine needle to inject small amounts of BOTOX Cosmetic directly into the affected areas.
Most patients experience only minor discomfort, and there’s no need for downtime, so you can get back to your normal activities right away.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results from BOTOX Cosmetic injections for sweating usually begin within a few days, with the full effects visible within two weeks. You can expect the results to last for about six months before you may need another treatment.
Many patients find that their sweating decreases significantly, improving their comfort and confidence.
Is BOTOX Cosmetic Safe for Treating Hyperhidrosis?
Yes, the FDA has approved BOTOX Cosmetic to treat excessive sweating, and trained physicians believe it is a safe alternative.
The adverse effects are usually minor and transitory, such as bruising or redness around the injection site.
