Excessive Sweating
Botulinum toxin (Botox®) is an effective treatment for excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis, enhancing comfort and confidence in everyday life. This innovative approach offers relief from the discomfort and embarrassment caused by excessive sweating.
Botox® helps manage excessive sweating by targeting the nerve signals that activate sweat glands by the following mechanism of action:
Inhibition of nerve signals: Sweat glands are stimulated by nerve signals that prompt them to produce sweat. When injected into the affected area, Botox® temporarily blocks acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for transmitting signals from nerves to sweat glands.
Decreased sweat production: By blocking nerve signals, the sweat glands become less active, resulting in a significant reduction in sweat output. Although it does not completely stop sweating, it lowers it to a more manageable level.
