Hyperhidrosis

The application of botulinum toxin can be used to decrease the secretion of sweat from the glands found in the armpits or hands. Some people suffer from excessive sweating, which causes them discomfort in their daily life, and they would like to decrease the secretion of sweat from these areas.

There are surgeries that can improve sweating, however, with botulinum toxin, we can reduce this problem without surgery for long periods of time. The result of the application lasts between 4-6 months and topical anesthesia is generally used, in cream or in some cases injected, this to reduce the pain of the application of the toxin, since it must be injected in very sensitive areas.

The effect of the toxin begins to be observed 2-3 days after application, and is completed around 10-14 days, and high doses are needed to reduce sweat secretion in large areas (hands, armpits).
