No one likes to be known as the sweaty person, but for those with hyperhidrosis, it may be hard not to be known as the sweaty person. No matter how much anti-perspirant they put on or how dark their clothing is, those who suffer from hyperhidrosis are almost always sweating excessively. If this sounds like you, there is a treatment you may not of heard of: Botox.
Botox is a neurotoxin that blocks the neurotransmitter known as acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is what makes muscles contract, causing us to sweat. Botox blocks the neural pathway that acetylcholine takes, helping people with sweating problems.
Of course you may have heard that blocking sweating is a natural part of the human body, and it is. But, for those with hyperhidrosis, excessive sweat is produced only on the palms and bottoms of the feet, or the underarms. Because such small areas of the body are affected, it is safe to use botox and stop sweating in those areas because there are still so many other areas of the body that will be able to produce sweat.
Botox is a relatively painless, outpatient treatment that will not impact your daily life. After receiving the injections, you will probably need to come back in about 7 months to get more injections. Keep in mind that Botox does not cure hyperhidrosis, it simply masks the symptoms. Therefore, once the Botox wears off, you will most likely need to come back.
Not all doctor's offices and plastic surgery office offer botox, but Nulook Medspa is one place that does offer these services. Nulook's doctor, Dr. Mohan, is experienced in providing botox to his patients, and will try to make your injections as comfortable as possible.
