HYPERHIDROSIS (Excessive Sweating)
Excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis, is more than a minor annoyance — it can affect your daily activities, self-confidence, and overall quality of life. This condition most commonly affects areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, and face. Our skilled team at Dermatic Aesthetics provides a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment with injections designed to help you regain comfort and confidence. Botox injections have been FDA-approved to treat hyperhidrosis of the underarms.
How It Works:
- Botox is a neurotoxin that temporarily blocks acetylcholine, the chemical responsible for activating sweat glands.
- By inhibiting sweat production, it reduces excessive sweating in the treated area.
Treatment Areas:
- Commonly treated areas include the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis), palms (palmar hyperhidrosis), and feet (plantar hyperhidrosis).
Procedure:
- Small amounts of Botox are injected directly into the affected area.
- The number of injections and dosage depend on the severity of sweating and the size of the treatment area.
- The procedure is typically quick and minimally invasive.
Results:
- Most patients notice a significant reduction in sweating within a few days.
- Effects generally last 4–6 months, with repeat treatments needed to maintain results.
Side Effects:
- Common side effects are usually mild and include temporary pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.
- Rarely, Botox may cause muscle weakness or paralysis.
