Excessive Sweating Reduction – Awaken Clinic
While medically harmless, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can lead to emotional distress and impact our daily lives. However, there is a non-surgical, injectable treatment that is quick for a medical professional to administer and highly effective in alleviating the symptoms of hyperhidrosis for up to six months at a time. The substance used in this treatment is botulinum toxin type A, commonly known as Botox®.
Hyperhidrosis occurs when the sweat glands become overactive, leading to excessive sweating that is not necessarily linked to vigorous exercise, emotional stress, or overheating from warm weather or hot clothing. This condition can manifest in various parts of the body, including the feet, hands, back, neck, underarms, face, and behind the knees. It is common for individuals to experience hyperhidrosis during normal hormonal changes, such as puberty. However, for some, it may persist into adulthood, resulting in embarrassment and inconvenience, particularly if it becomes so severe that it soaks through clothing and is noticeable to others.
FAQs
Botulinum toxin type A (more commonly known as Botox®) is a natural protein primarily recognised for its use in cosmetic facial rejuvenation to combat expression lines. However, it is also highly effective in reducing excessive sweating. When injected into specific areas associated with hyperhidrosis, botulinum toxin type A immobilises the sweat glands, temporarily and effectively diminishing their activity. This treatment can significantly alleviate the symptoms of hyperhidrosis for up to six months at a time, allowing those affected by the condition to gain more confidence and lead happier lives.
If you are fit and healthy but suffer from excessive sweating, you will most likely be eligible for this treatment. Botulinum toxin type A boasts a robust safety record, with few to no side effects reported after this procedure. However, as with any medically prescribed treatment, it is advisable to consult a medical professional to ensure this procedure is safe for you before making a decision.
Depending on the treatment area, a dermal anaesthetic cream may be applied to ensure your comfort, taking approximately 30 minutes to take effect. Following this period, your medical practitioner will apply a mixture of iodine and starch to the skin, which temporarily stains and highlights the key areas that require treatment, allowing for precise injections. After this step, a series of injections containing botulinum toxin will be administered with a very fine needle. This process immobilises the sweat glands and reduces their secretions. The treatment should not exceed 30 minutes, excluding the time for numbing. You will be able to resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
There is no clinical downtime following this treatment. However, you may experience some cosmetic effects, such as slight swelling, light bruising, and mild tenderness in the treatment area, for 24 to 48 hours afterwards.
The treatment may take up to 14 days to become fully effective. Following this period, you may experience a 95% reduction in sweat secretion, making it a highly effective and, in many instances, life-changing treatment.
The effects of this treatment can last three to six months. In most instances, treatment every six months should be sufficient to keep symptoms under control.
