Parfaire’s Popular Healing Center in Los Feliz for Excessive Sweat Reduction
Botox Treatment for
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
You deserve to live comfortably without excessive sweating affecting your day. Botox is an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes unpredictable and excessive perspiration. Whether it’s your underarms, hands, scalp, or feet, Botox blocks nerve signals to the eccrine sweat glands, reducing sweating so you can feel at ease.
How Botox Works for Hyperhidrosis
If excessive sweating disrupts your life, Botox may be the solution. Best known for its wrinkle-smoothing benefits, Botox is also FDA-approved to treat hyperhidrosis, targeting underarms, hands, feet, or face. By blocking nerve signals in these areas, Botox helps manage perspiration and restore your confidence.
What to Expect During Treatment in Los Feliz
Before administering Botox for hyperhidrosis, an Iodine Starch Test is performed to accurately identify the most active sweat glands in the problem area. This allows for targeted Botox injections that maximize effectiveness.
- A fine-gauge needle is carefully inserted just under the skin to deliver Botox.
- Several precise micro-injections are placed throughout the affected region.
- If necessary, a topical anesthetic may be used to enhance comfort.
- The entire procedure lasts about 30 minutes and requires minimal to no downtime.
Generally, 50 units of Botox are used per underarm, but the exact amount is customized based on sweating severity, determined through the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale. Results typically begin appearing within 5 to 7 days, with effects lasting between 7 to 8 months, sometimes longer with repeat sessions.
A Note About Our Iodine Starch Kit Test:
A specialized powder is applied to the skin, which turns purple upon contact with sweat. This highlights the areas with excessive perspiration, ensuring Botox is injected precisely where needed while avoiding unnecessary areas.
