Another area of application of Botox is the elimination of excessive sweating and various related disorders. Especially in hot weather, when moving, and in psychological reactions such as excitement, stress and anxiety, the body reacts by sweating. Sweating is actually a beneficial function that regulates the body's temperature.
The most common problems faced by people who sweat excessively are clothing selection and sweat odor problems. It is especially difficult to choose gray-toned clothes because they show sweating. Additionally, social problems may occur due to sweat odor. People with excessive hand sweating feel the need to dry their hands before shaking hands with other people. These and similar social problems, with the effect of stress, further increase excessive sweating in the person, causing a vicious circle to occur.
If there is a problem of hyperhidrosis with excessive sweating throughout the body or in case of anhidrosis without sweating at all, an internal medicine doctor should be examined. Because this situation may be a sign of other diseases. Stress, emetics, drugs such as insulin, overactivity of the thyroid gland, adrenal gland diseases, menopause, hypoglycemia, obesity, drugs and hormones used in the treatment of some cancers are among the main causes of sweating. Sometimes too much sweating may appear structurally.
How is botox injection applied in armpit excessive sweating?
In the treatment of regional excessive sweating, botox is injected in appropriate amounts to the required points with thin needles under the skin where sweating is intense. It prevents sweat production by temporarily blocking the functioning of the nerves reaching the sweat glands. Before this procedure, local anesthetic creams are used to avoid any pain. The patient can continue his normal daily life immediately after the procedure. Improvement is observed within the first week after the application. The effect of Botox usually lasts 6 to 8 months, and when the effect begins to wear off, the application must be repeated. Depending on the person, stopping the excessive secretion of sweat from the sweat glands for a certain period of time can eliminate sweating in the armpits, palms and soles of the feet, especially in summer months.
Is the application a painful procedure? Minimal, tolerable pain may be felt during application. This pain can be further alleviated with local anesthetic creams that can be applied before the procedure.
