Excessive Sweating Treatment

Yes. Botox treatment is approved by the FDA to help with really sweaty underarms, called axillary hyperhidrosis. When you get Botox injections from a good professional, they are usually safe and don’t have many serious side effects to worry about.

Sweat itself is odorless. The unpleasant smell occurs when sweat interacts with bacteria on the skin’s surface. Bacteria break down the sweat into fatty acids and other compounds, producing the characteristic odor. This process tends to happen more noticeably in areas where we have apocrine glands.

Factors That Influence The Body Odor

There are several factors can influence the intensity and nature of the body odor, such as:

• Genetics: Your genetic makeup can determine how much and what type of sweat you produce.
• Diet: Foods like garlic, onions, and spicy dishes may be also responsible for stronger body odor.
• Stress: Stress-induced sweat from apocrine glands can lead to a more noticeable body odor.
• Clothing: Synthetic fabrics can trap sweat and bacteria, exacerbating the smell.

Common side effects of Botox for hyperhidrosis include pain at the injection site, or you can experience very mild, temporary muscle weakness, and there may be some headaches for certain patients. These side effects are usually mild and temporary.

There are many people who find Botox therapy for hyperhidrosis quite tolerable in terms of pain and discomfort. However, if you are still worried about any potential pain at the injection site, our team at Glow & GO Hyperhidrosis clinics can apply a numbing cream to help ease any discomfort. We are here to make your experience as smooth as possible.

Dealing with hyperhidrosis can be hard, especially if it’s not caused by something obvious. But you can still manage it to a great extent and make it less of a problem in your everyday life. Mostly, this means dealing with the symptoms of your condition and avoiding things that make it worse.

Typically, these injections can bring you relief from excessive sweating for a good span of time, usually between 4 to 12 months. But remember, how long it lasts can vary from person to person due to factors like metabolism, activity level, and the amount of Botox used. With time effects gradually wear off because the nerve signals to the sweat glands start to pick up again. That’s why most patients need repeat treatments to keep enjoying the results they want. However, it’s good to keep in mind that intense workouts or times of high stress may be affecting how long the results may last.

Research has found that Botox can really help with sweating. You can expect to have reduced sweating by 82-87%, in the areas where it is injected. You might see the effects in just a few days, and they usually get stronger after about two weeks. How long it lasts can differ for each person, but usually, it lasts between 4 to 12 months. If you want to keep feeling dry and fresh, you will need to get more treatments when it wears off.

Determining the right amount of Botox for treating hyperhidrosis is really important for both how well it works and for your safety. The amount of Botox for the treatment of hyperhidrosis you need can change depending on a few things, like where you’re getting treated and how bad your sweating is.

Here is a general guide to dosages:

• Underarms (Axillary Hyperhidrosis): Usually, it’s about 50 units of Botox for each underarm.
• Palms and Feet: Typically, it’s between 50 to 100 units for each hand or foot.
• Face and Other Areas: The amount can be quite different depending on where and how much you have been sweating.

It is very important for a qualified skin specialist doctor to know about your general health condition, look at your specific situation and figure out exactly how much Botox you may have to get at our skin clinic in Lahore.

When you have stopped getting Botox (botulinum toxin) injections, you can expect to start sweating again in the areas where you used to get them. This happens because the effects of Botox wear off over a few months. You sweat as much as you did before you started Botox and have a degraded quality of life. In the long run, your sweating problem will go back to how it was before you got Botox. But there aren’t any known bad effects from stopping Botox for a long time. Your body doesn’t depend on Botox, so you won’t go through withdrawal when you stop. It’s just going back to how things were before you got the treatment.

The price of Botox treatment for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can differ depending on things like how many areas you may need treatment for and the skill of the doctor. At Glow & GO Skin Clinic in Lahore, the cost for Botox to treat excessive sweating is Rs. 25,000. For the best estimate that suits your needs, we suggest talking directly with your doctor.
