Pasadena’s Popular Healing Center for Excessive Sweat Reduction by Parfaire
Botox Treatment for
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Are you dealing with excessive sweating that interferes with your daily routine? Botox provides an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis, a condition that leads to excessive and uncontrollable perspiration. Whether affecting your underarms, hands, scalp, or feet, Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the eccrine sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production.
How Botox Works for Hyperhidrosis
Botox, a purified form of botulinum toxin, is commonly used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, but it’s also FDA-approved for treating axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating) and primary focal hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating in areas like the hands, feet, or face). By injecting Botox into targeted areas, it temporarily blocks nerve signals responsible for triggering excessive sweating.
What to Expect During Treatment in Pasadena
Prior to the procedure, we conduct an Iodine Starch Test to accurately identify active sweat glands within the designated treatment area. This crucial step ensures precise Botox placement for optimal effectiveness.
- A fine-gauge needle is carefully used to administer Botox just beneath the surface of the skin.
- Multiple small injections are strategically placed in the targeted region.
- For enhanced comfort, a local anesthetic may be applied.
- The entire process typically lasts around 30 minutes and requires minimal to no recovery time.
We generally administer 50 units per underarm, but the exact dosage is determined based on the severity of sweating, assessed through the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale. Visible results emerge within 5 to 7 days, with effects lasting between 7 to 8 months or longer with continued treatments.
A Note About Our Iodine Starch Kit Test: We utilize a specialized powder that reacts with sweat in the treated area. Once applied, it turns purple, clearly marking the locations of overactive sweat glands. This ensures Botox is only injected into the necessary areas, avoiding unnecessary applications beyond the sweat-affected zones.
