About Botox for sweating (Hyperhidrosis) treatment

Hyperhidrosis treatment is a specialized medical intervention designed to alleviate excessive sweating. This condition can be extremely uncomfortable and socially debilitating, causing individuals to feel self-conscious and anxious in public situations.

Botulinum toxin, more commonly known as “Botox”, blocks the sweat glands at the end of your nerves. This either greatly reduces or stops sweating in problem areas, like your armpit.

What areas can be treated for Hyperhidrosis with Botox in the UK

The UK authorities have already licensed Botox for sweating – the injection of Botox in armpits being one of the most popular treatments. When your practitioner is injecting Botox into your armpits, they do so by spacing each injection a few centimeters apart to deliver the maximum benefit.

Currently, the use of Botox in armpits is the only licensed use of Botox for sweating, however experienced practitioners like our experts here in Kent can provide treatment courses for your hands and feet.

It's important to note that while this procedure offers excellent results, it should only be performed by qualified medical professionals who have received specific training in administering Botox injections for Hyperhidrosis. 

Essential facts to know before getting Botox hyperhidrosis treatment

Botox, also known as botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxin that is used to treat a variety of conditions, including hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. Botox injections work by blocking the nerve signals that cause sweat glands to produce sweat.

Here are some essential facts to know before getting Botox for hyperhidrosis:

• Botox is a safe and effective treatment for hyperhidrosis. It is UK pproved for the treatment of underarm sweating, and it is also commonly used to treat sweating in the hands, feet, and face.
• Botox injections are typically performed by a dermatologist or other healthcare professional. The injections are done in the office, and they usually take about 30 minutes.
• Botox injections can cause some side effects, such as pain, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own within a few days.
• Botox injections are not a permanent solution for hyperhidrosis. The effects of treatment typically last for 4-6 months.

If you are considering Botox for hyperhidrosis, be sure to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of treatment. Here are some additional things to consider when deciding whether or not to get Botox for hyperhidrosis:

• The cost of treatment. Botox injections can be expensive, so be sure to factor in the cost of treatment when making your decision.


• Your lifestyle. If you are active and sweat a lot, you may need to get Botox injections more often than someone who is less active.


• Your expectations. Botox is not a cure for hyperhidrosis, but it can help to reduce sweating significantly. Be sure to set realistic expectations for treatment.

If you are still unsure about whether or not Botox is right for you, talk to your doctor. They can help you to decide if this type of treatment is the best option for you.

Botox hyperhidrosis treatment explained

 

As this is not a permanent treatment, the effects will wear off over time. It is therefore possible for the procedure to be repeated every 6 months for effective results.

• Notice less sweating in approximately 10 days
• Long lasting - between 6 and 12 months
• Non-surgical and painless procedure

While the exact cause of hyperhidrosis remains unclear, several factors have been linked to its development. One factor that may contribute to hyperhidrosis is genetics.

Research has shown that individuals with a family history of hyperhidrosis are more likely to develop the condition themselves. Another potential cause could be an overactive sympathetic nervous system, which controls sweat gland activity among other bodily functions.

Additionally, certain medications or health conditions such as diabetes and thyroid disorders can lead to excessive sweating as a side effect or symptom. .

Botox Hyperhidrosis aftercare is a crucial step in ensuring the success and longevity of the treatment. After receiving Botox injections for excessive sweating, patients must avoid strenuous exercise and exposure to high temperatures for at least 24 hours.

It is also important to keep the injection sites clean and dry, avoiding any heavy creams or lotions that may clog pores. Patients should refrain from touching or rubbing the treated areas as this can potentially spread the toxin to unintended muscles.

Additionally, it is recommended to drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet to aid in flushing out toxins from the body. Following these guidelines will not only improve recovery time but also maximize the effectiveness of Botox hyperhidrosis treatment results over time.
