Excessive sweating that is not always
related to heat or exercise and may interfere with everyday activities
It is most commonly used for underarm sweating, but other areas may be considered following clinical assessment. This will be administered in the armpit.
Botulinum toxin. is injected just beneath the skin using a fine needle. It temporarily blocks the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands, reducing the amount of sweat produced in the treated area.
The
Procedure
A number of small injections are placed across the affected area. Treatment usually takes approximately 20—60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Initial
Recovery
Normal activities can usually be resumed immediately. Temporary stinging, tenderness, redness, swelling or bruising may occur for a few days.
When it Starts
Working
Some improvement may be noticed within one week.
Full
Effect
The full benefit is usually noticeable within two weeks.
How Long it
Lasts
The reduction in sweating commonly lasts around six to seven months, although results vary between individuals.
Repeat
Treatment
Treatment can be repeated once the effects have worn off and sweating returns. This is commonly no earlier than six months, following review by the treating clinician.
Side effects
Botox is not a permanent cure. Possible side effects include
discomfort or bruising at the injection sites, headaches, hot
flushes, increased sweating elsewhere and, more rarely,
temporary muscle weakness.
