What is Botox for Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating. It is a condition where a person sweats more than what is necessary for normal regulation of body temperature. This excessive sweating can occur in specific areas of the body, such as the hands, feet, underarms, or face, or it may be generalised throughout the body. Hyperhidrosis can be a condition that significantly affects a person's daily life, socially, emotionally, and functionally.
How does Botox for Hyperhidrosis work?
When used for Hyperhidrosis, Botox is injected into the affected area, such as the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet. Botox works by blocking the release of a chemical called acetylcholine, which is responsible for stimulating the sweat glands.
By blocking the release of acetylcholine, Botox temporarily inhibits the sweat glands from producing excessive sweat. The effects of Botox typically last for several months, after which the treatment may need to be repeated.
What does the procedure involve?
The procedure involves the injection of Botulinum toxin into specific areas to achieve the desired result.
How long does each session take?
A typical Botox session can vary in length depending on the number of areas. On average, a session can take 10 - 30 minutes. However, this does not include any additional consultation or preparation time, which may vary. The actual injection process itself is usually relatively quick, with the majority of the time spent on discussing the treatment plan and addressing any questions or concerns.
Does Botox combat the ageing process?
Botox does not combat the ageing process itself, but it can temporarily reduce the visible signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and fine lines. Botox works by temporarily paralysing the muscles that cause wrinkles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance. However, it does not stop or reverse the natural aging process of the skin, which includes factors like collagen depletion and loss of elasticity.
