Los Angeles’ Popular Healing Center for Excessive Sweat Reduction by Parfaire
Botox Treatment for
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Tired of constantly battling excessive sweating? You’re not alone! Hyperhidrosis can make everyday life uncomfortable, but Botox offers a proven solution. Whether it’s your underarms, hands, scalp, or feet, Botox helps by blocking nerve signals to the eccrine sweat glands, dramatically reducing perspiration so you can stay dry and confident.
How Botox Works for Hyperhidrosis
Did you know Botox does more than just smooth wrinkles? It’s FDA-approved to treat axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating) and primary focal hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating in the hands, feet, or face). When injected into the problem areas, Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause excessive perspiration.
What to Expect During Treatment in Los Angeles
Before getting started, we perform an Iodine Starch Test to locate the most active sweat glands in the treatment area. This helps us ensure Botox is injected exactly where it’s needed for the best results.
- We use a fine-gauge needle to carefully inject Botox just under the skin.
- Tiny injections are administered throughout the targeted area.
- A numbing agent may be applied to help minimize any discomfort.
- The entire treatment takes around 30 minutes and requires little to no downtime.
Typically, 50 units are used per underarm, but the precise dosage varies depending on the severity of sweating, determined using the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale. You can expect to see results within 5 to 7 days, and they usually last between 7 to 8 months, sometimes longer with repeat treatments.
A Note About Our Iodine Starch Kit Test: We apply a unique powder to the skin that reacts with perspiration, turning purple upon contact. This reaction highlights overactive sweat glands, ensuring Botox is injected only where it’s needed, preventing unnecessary treatment beyond the problem areas.
