Hyperhidrosis Treatment with Botulinum Toxin – Treatment of Excessive Sweating
Get rid of excessive sweating safely
Hyperhidrosis treatment with botulinum toxin is an effective solution for treating excessive sweating. Its application has been shown to significantly reduce the amount of sweat secreted, offering substantial relief to people who suffer from this condition daily.
Hyperhidrosis can significantly affect personal, social and professional life. Excessive sweating in the armpits, palms or soles often causes embarrassment, limitations in daily activities and a decrease in self-confidence.
With botulinum toxin, excessive sweat production can be effectively reduced, without surgery and without recovery time.
What is hyperhidrosis treatment with botulinum toxin?
Botulinum toxin is a substance with muscle relaxant action, which has been used for many years in both general and aesthetic medicine.
In the case of hyperhidrosis, it is applied intradermally to the areas where increased sweat production is observed. Its action is based on the fact that it temporarily inhibits the function of the sweat glands, reducing excessive sweat secretion.
Botulinum toxin preparations, such as those marketed by Allergan and Ipsen, have official approval and certification from the FDA and the Hellenic Medicines Authority.
Who is the treatment for?
Immediately after treatment it is recommended to avoid:
-
Massage the application area

Are there side effects?
Treatment of hyperhidrosis with botulinum toxin is characterized by a high level of safety.
The possibility of an allergic reaction to the drug is extremely rare. When treatment is carried out by an experienced doctor, it is considered safe and well tolerated.
When can I return to work?
The treatment does not require recovery time.
From the next day you can return to work and your daily activities normally, without restriction of movement.

A starch-iodine test can then be performed to accurately identify areas with increased sweat production.
If the test is positive and the areas are colored, the doctor either proceeds immediately with the application or sets a new date for the treatment.

The results begin to be noticeable within a few days after application.
The reduction in sweating is gradual, while the end result offers significant relief from the daily discomfort caused by hyperhidrosis.

How does botulinum toxin work on hyperhidrosis?
The treatment works by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the sympathetic nerve endings of the sweat glands.
In this way, the contraction of the myoepithelial cells of the sweat glands is prevented and excessive sweat secretion is limited.
The body's normal sweating does not stop altogether. The treatment targets only the areas where there is a problem of hyperhidrosis.
