How Botox Can Help With Excessive Sweating?

It seems that Botox is not just for getting rid of wrinkles anymore. At Angel Gloss Clinic of Toronto we can do many treatments with Botox; including migraine treatments, wrinkle treatments, masseter weakening, treating muscle spasms of the face, eyes, and neck, and now hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) Botox injection treatments. If you have problems with excess sweating and have tried other treatments, such as certain medications and iontophoresis, you are a good candidate for sweating treatment with Botox at Angel Gloss Clinic in Toronto.

What is Botox for Excessive Sweating?

Botox is actually a toxin called botulinum toxin A mixed into a protein that blocks the nerves in the eccrine glands that create sweat. While it does not cure hyperhidrosis, it does reduce the production of sweat for about three to six months, with some patients reporting it has worked for over a year. The FDA has signed off on the treatment of excessive sweating under the arms as well as in the hands and feet. Angel Gloss Clinic is certified by the UK to treat patients with hyperhidrosis of the armpit, but to get treatment in your hands and feet you have to go to a hospital because it can be painful and the patient may need a general anesthetic. Botox actually prevents the chemicals that make the sweat glands active.

You will start to notice the change within a few days. The treatments can be used for heavy sweating under your arms, in your hands and feet, and on your head and face. There is very little pain, but if you choose, you can have the technician use a numbing cream on your skin before the surgery.
