If you've ever felt uncomfortable due to excessive sweating, worried about visible stains on your clothes, or unpleasant odor, the good news is that excessive sweating can be effectively and easily reduced with a simple botox treatment.
What is Excessive Sweating?
Pojačano znojenje (hiperhidroza) je prekomerno znojenje određenih delova tela koje je obično posledica hiperaktivnosti znojnih žlezda, a može biti izazvano stresom, određenim lekovima ili, jednostavno, visokim temperaturama. Češće se javlja kod muškaraca, najčešće u pazuhu i na dlanovima.
Botox as a Treatment for Excessive Sweating
Botox is a neuromodulator that, when injected, blocks the communication between nerves and muscles, partially relaxing the muscles and reducing wrinkles on the face and neck. Besides its aesthetic use, one of its most common medical applications is for hyperhidrosis. Botox has been used in medicine for decades, and recently, it has been used for aesthetic purposes in a very diluted form that is safe for patients.
In the skin, botulinum toxin acts on sweat glands, reducing the amount of sweat that is released.
What does the treatment look like?
Tretman je jednostavan i brz, praktično bezbolan, a traje oko 10 minuta. Ubrizgavanjem malih količina botoksa u kožu sprečava se prekomerno izlučivanje znoja. Nakon tretmana, na mestu uboda javljaju se blago crvenilo i otok koji se povlače nakon sat vremena. Potrebno je da pacijent izbegava napornu fizičku aktivnost nekoliko dana kao i izlaganje visokim temperaturama (poput odlaska u saunu), kao i upotreba dezodoransa.
When do results become visible
Initial results can be seen as early as 4 to 5 days after treatment, with full effect usually taking 10 to 14 days. A follow-up visit is recommended to assess the desired result and make any necessary adjustments.
How long do results last
The effect of reducing excessive sweating with botulinum toxin lasts for about 6 months, so this treatment is usually performed twice a year.
