Hyperhidrosis

Using Botox injections to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is an effective solution to reduce the overproduction of sweat produced by your glands. Using botox as a treatment for excessive sweating is an FDA approved and widely used method and can be administered at Perfection Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto. Hyperhidrosis is not a dangerous condition, but can be uncomfortable and anxiety inducing, affecting your quality and enjoyment of life. What distinguishes hyperhidrosis from regular sweating is the amount of sweat with no apparent cause, when suffering symptoms of hyperhidrosis you would be experiencing an excessive amount of sweat not conducive to your body temperature and/or activity levels.
Botox can address symptoms of hyperhidrosis through blocking nerve signals that induce the sweat glands to produce sweat. It is not definitively known exactly what causes all types of excessive sweating, many believe it is related to the sympathetic nervous system which is responsible for your body’s responses in stressful situations. In cases of hyperhidrosis, the brain sends signals for your body to produce sweat even though the normal cooling required conditions such as physical activity or heat, are not met. What is unique and makes botox injections for excessive sweating so successful compared to alternative treatments, is that the botox stops the issue (glands production) in its tracks. Where other treatment options tend to focus more so on surface level solutions ＆ treating the symptoms rather than cause.

MORE ABOUT Hyperhidrosis

About hyperhidrosis condition:

There are two different types of hyperhidrosis, primary and secondary hyperhidrosis. A common misconception about hyperhidrosis is that people who suffer from this condition actually have more sweat glands, but rather than that it is overactive glands. The differing types of hyperhidrosis can also affect where you are experiencing the excessive sweating on your body. Primary hyperhidrosis is the type which has less known information on the exact cause and reason, it is often inherited and begins in younger years and worsens approaching puberty. It is also often more common with women than men. This type of hyperhidrosis appears even in those who are otherwise “healthy”, and is labeled as primary due to the fact that it isn’t linked to other medical conditions. Some of the symptoms of this type of hyperhidrosis are as follows:
  • “Focal” sweating, meaning that you are experiencing excessive sweating in only certain and few areas on the body. Such as hands and/or feet, underarms, and forehead.
  • In the areas that you are sweating, will be both sides of your body.
  • It’s uncommon with primary hyperhidrosis symptoms to occur while you are sleeping. Generally the excessive sweating only happens during the day.
  • The periods of excessive sweating happen minimum once a week, though often it is experienced much more.

Secondary generalized hyperhidrosis is labeled as “secondary” since it is often a symptom and related to different conditions. Some of these conditions are as follows:
  • Menopause
  • Gout
  • Medicinal side effects
  • Alcoholism
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Diabetes
  • Neurologic syndromes
  • Overactive thyroid

Secondary hyperhidrosis symptoms vary from the primary as with this type, the sweating will be experienced over the entire body as well as while you are sleeping. If you are experiencing this, it is HIGHLY encouraged that you visit your primary physician as it can indicate underlying health conditions. With secondary hyperhidrosis, it will often appear later in life as an adult. Perfection Cosmetic Clinic in Toronto can treat both types of hyperhidrosis. However, it is important to note that the secondary type of hyperhidrosis is often due to underlying conditions which may affect your eligibility for the treatment. This will all be discussed during your consultation prior to treatment. What are the benefits of treating hyperhidrosis with Botox? Patients who receive Botox injections for their hyperhidrosis will enjoy many benefits that go along with such a popular treatment. Some of these benefits are as follows:

The majority of individuals require 25-35 units per area, which can be normally administered in a 15-30 minute appointment.

This fantastic solution to excessive sweating is a rather quick treatment with minimal side effects.

Full results will materialize overtime as the Botox begins to freeze your gland activity. You will see the full results around the 2 week mark after your appointment.

Who is a good candidate for treating hyperhidrosis with Botox?

People with excessive sweating in particular parts of their body, including the feet, palms, or armpits, are good candidates for Botox for hyperhidrosis. The hyperhidrosis condition can be embarrassing and make day-to-day tasks difficult. Patients who have not responded to non-invasive, topical treatments like prescription antiperspirants or oral medicines are usually advised to get Botox. Those who have previously experienced adverse reactions to the toxin or any of its constituents should be aware that Botox is not advised for them. Candidates for Botox should be in generally good health and have reasonable expectations regarding the course of treatment. Botox is a relatively long-term treatment for hyperhidrosis, and it usually takes several months before additional appointments are required.
