Glendale’s Popular Healing Center for Excessive Sweat Reduction by Parfaire
Botox Treatment for
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Does excessive sweating disrupt your confidence and comfort? Botox is a clinically proven treatment for hyperhidrosis, a condition that triggers persistent and uncontrollable sweating. Targeting areas like the underarms, hands, scalp, or feet, Botox blocks nerve signals to the eccrine sweat glands, effectively reducing sweat production for lasting relief.
How Botox Works for Hyperhidrosis
While Botox is well-known for reducing fine lines, it’s also an FDA-approved treatment for hyperhidrosis, helping those who struggle with excessive sweating. Whether it’s underarm sweating or excessive perspiration in the hands, feet, or face, Botox injections block the nerve signals that trigger sweat production, offering temporary relief.
What to Expect During Treatment in Glendale
Before moving forward with treatment, we conduct an Iodine Starch Test to map out areas with excessive sweating. This step allows us to administer Botox precisely where it’s needed for optimal effectiveness.
- A fine-gauge needle is carefully inserted just beneath the skin to deliver Botox.
- Numerous small injections are strategically placed in the affected area.
- For added comfort, a numbing agent may be applied before treatment.
- The procedure lasts approximately 30 minutes and involves minimal recovery time.
On average, 50 units of Botox are injected per underarm, though the exact amount is determined based on sweating severity, measured using the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale. You’ll start noticing a reduction in sweating within 5 to 7 days, with results typically lasting 7 to 8 months or even longer with continued treatment sessions.
A Note About Our Iodine Starch Kit Test:
We use a specialized powder that reacts with moisture to indicate where excessive sweating occurs. When applied, it turns purple, highlighting the sweat-prone areas. This ensures precise Botox placement, avoiding injection in unaffected areas.
