Experiencing excessive sweating can lead to considerable insecurity. Sweating brings an unpleasant odor, and sweat stains can be quite unsightly.
When excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) significantly limits your life, injections of muscle relaxants can be the solution. Botulinum toxin blocks the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands, preventing them from producing sweat. With botulinum toxin, you can be free from excessive sweating for up to three months. The effect becomes noticeable approximately two weeks after the treatment.
The process
At Ageworth, a treatment for excessive sweating always begins with a personal consultation. We have a conversation with you and provide honest and knowledgeable advice, which we document in a treatment plan. If you agree with the treatment plan, the botulinum toxin treatment for sweating can be scheduled, optionally immediately after the consultation.
The treatment
Every injectable treatment starts with thorough cleansing and disinfection of the skin. The cosmetic doctor then marks the injection points based on the treatment plan. We use ultra-fine needles to ensure a virtually painless treatment. The doctor administers 12-18 injections per armpit. After the treatment, you will receive comprehensive aftercare tips to maximize the longevity of the effect. A treatment for excessive sweating typically takes around 30 minutes (including the consultation).
Aftercare
After a botulinum toxin treatment for sweating, there is no recovery time required. You can resume your regular activities on the same day. However, your skin may appear slightly red and sensitive due to the injections. To ensure the botulinum toxin is effective in the desired area, we recommend avoiding lying down, bending over, and exercising for the first four hours. UV radiation can accelerate skin damage in the treated area, so it is important to minimize sun exposure. Applying a nourishing (scar) cream can help expedite the skin’s recovery after an injectable treatment.
Duration of Results:
The effect of a treatment with muscle relaxants for sweating is typically noticeable after an average of two weeks. The results of the treatment usually last for approximately three months. The body naturally breaks down the botulinum toxin over time. The duration of the effect varies per individual and depends on factors such as your skin type and lifestyle. If desired, a follow-up treatment can be arranged.
