Alhambra’s Popular Healing Center for Excessive Sweat Reduction by Parfaire
Botox Treatment for
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can be disruptive and difficult to manage. Fortunately, Botox is a highly effective solution that directly targets the source of the problem. By blocking nerve signals to the eccrine sweat glands in areas such as the underarms, hands, scalp, or feet, Botox significantly reduces sweating, restoring comfort and control.
How Botox Works for Hyperhidrosis
Beyond its well-known cosmetic applications, Botox is FDA-approved for treating hyperhidrosis, including excessive underarm sweating and focal sweating in the hands, feet, or face. By injecting Botox into affected areas, it temporarily disrupts the nerve signals that cause sweat production, reducing excessive perspiration.
What to Expect During Treatment in Alhambra
Before starting your treatment, we perform an Iodine Starch Test to locate the most active sweat glands. This allows us to place Botox injections in the areas that need it most.
- A fine-gauge needle is used to administer Botox just beneath the surface of the skin.
- Several tiny injections are distributed across the treatment zone for even coverage.
- For added comfort, a local anesthetic can be applied before beginning the procedure.
- The entire session lasts about 30 minutes and involves little to no downtime.
Typically, 50 units of Botox are injected per underarm, but the exact amount varies based on individual sweating severity, determined using the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale. Results start appearing within 5 to 7 days and typically last 7 to 8 months, with repeat treatments extending the duration of effectiveness.
A Note About Our Iodine Starch Kit Test:
We use a special powder to mark areas affected by excessive sweating. When applied, it changes color to highlight the overactive sweat glands, ensuring that Botox is injected only where necessary, avoiding any excess treatment.
