Sweating is a fact of life. But if you find yourself sweating so much that normal deodorants and antiperspirants barely have an effect, you could have a condition called hyperhidrosis.
Fortunately, there’s good news. At Hermann Aesthetics & Wellness, we can use Botox as a simple and easy hyperhidrosis treatment in St. Petersburg that reduces your sweating to normal, healthy levels and helps you take back your life.
Here’s what you need to know about how it works.
Do I Have Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical concern that causes excessive sweating on the palms, feet, underarms, and/or head.
The first and most obvious sign of hyperhidrosis is the frequent formation of beads of sweat on your skin, even if you haven’t physically exerted yourself and don’t feel overheated. This sweat can soak your clothes and make even everyday activities feel more difficult.
Individuals with severe hyperhidrosis might have skin that turns white and soft for periods of time due to saturation. Hyperhidrosis can also lead to jock itch or athlete’s foot from too much sweat accumulation.
If you notice any of these signs of hyperhidrosis, you may have it—but it doesn’t have to keep interfering with your life.
How We Treat Hyperhidrosis with Botox
Botox, an injectable best known for its ability to smooth away wrinkles and fine lines on the skin, actually has many other uses.
One of these alternate uses is helping to minimize, or even eliminate, hyperhidrosis in the underarm region.
The Botox formula contains a natural, purified protein that temporarily blocks the secretion of the chemical responsible for stimulating the body’s sweat glands. If the sweat glands don’t receive those chemical signals, they don’t produce sweat.
This means that even just one simple injection of Botox can reduce severe sweating.
How Often Would I Need Botox for Hyperhidrosis?
With just one injection of Botox, patients can enjoy up to 200 days of drier underarms.
After 200 days, a simple touch-up treatment extends and maintains your results.
