Excessive sweating, otherwise called hyperhidrosis, is the result of an increased functionality of sweating glands and, according to statistics, it affects every 10th person. Some people do not like temperature changes, for others it is the result of emotional strain, and others have simply inherited this problem. Occasionally, this condition may be a sign of a more serious illness, such as diabetes, neurological problems, and thyroid malfunction. Therefore, it is important first to exclude these options with the help of a doctor.
If they do not apply to you and yet you have a constant feeling of wet skin, consider one of the simple treatments that are guaranteed to be effective.
You can consider excessive sweating removal if you have increased activity of glands in the underarm, palms or sole areas. Botulinum toxin may be used to treat the forehead.
We recommend it to everyone whose social or personal life is affected by this issue. At our surgery, we offer the removal of excessive sweating with botulinum toxin.
Botulinum toxin reliably removes excessive sweating, but its effect is not permanent. Absolute satisfaction may be provided if you are treated twice a year. However, the ratio is still excellent considering that it only takes a few minutes, giving you 5-12 months without sweating.
Clients also positively feel about its fast effectivity that you will experience in just 7 days.
It is an outpatient treatment. This is a routine procedure that takes the minimum of time – taking from several minutes to half an hour.
The particular part of the body is first chilled or put under local anesthesia with a special cream. Then botulinum toxin is applied with a thin needle under the skin and that affects the sweat glands in the surrounding area suspending their activity. The injections are approximately 1.5 cm apart.
After this treatment, no follow-up care is needed – you may even go to work from the surgery. For a few days, however, you should avoid demanding physical activity, a solarium or a sauna.
If you have been given botulinum toxin in the forehead, do not lie down to prevent it to go through other tissues for four hours after the procedure. Hand palm treatment requires 24 hours without stressing activities, and that includes driving.
For many people, a really big scare is overheating, which could happen when sweating is completely stopped. These concerns are pointless, botulinum toxin really only affects sweating in the treated area – the sweat glands elsewhere will work as usual. There are no such difficulties.
Botulinum toxin is better not applied during pregnancy, although it is not certain whether it would have a negative effect. Better safe than sorry, your satisfaction and safety are in the first place for us.
