Excessive Sweating- Symptoms & Treatment

Excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis is caused by stimulation of the sweat glands by nerve endings which descend from higher centres in the brain. These nerves respond to emotional stresses; like intimate social situations, public speaking, physical stresses and increased body temperature that comes with exercise or hot, humid weather.

Most people with excessive sweating are bothered primarily when they are emotionally stressed, physically active, or over-heated. Botox® and Dysport® can prevent excessive sweating for months by blocking the release of the neurotransmitter, i.e., acetylcholine, from the nerve endings that cause the glands to produce sweat.

FAQs On Excessive Sweating Treatment

Botox® is injected via a very small needle into the hair-bearing skin of each underarm. Normal activity can be immediately resumed, while heavy exercise should be avoided for several hours.

Excessive sweating in underarms will be decreased by 90% within 48 hours and the full effect will be seen within one week. There may be a simultaneous disappearance of odour associated with decreased sweating, but this is not consistent.

Most patients will obtain the benefit of dryness with one treatment of Botox®/ Dysport® for six to ten months.

Most common complications from injection into the axillary skin include tiny bruises which fade in a few days and small persistent areas of sweating that may need a second treatment.

As with any procedure involving needles, there is a small chance of mild bruising or mild transient redness at the area of injection. The procedure takes about 10 minutes and you may drive after it. There are no restrictions on your activity thereafter, although vigorous exercise is not advised for 24 hours after treatment.
