Save Your Wardrobe from Hyperhidrosis with Botox!
Ladies, Gents, are you an excessive sweater 💦? Do you sometimes feel like your armpits would give the Mississippi River a run for its money? Have you ever considered carrying around a sweat rag like the late and GREAT Whitney Houston? It’s ok, I feel you, and I have a solution! As a top injector of Botox® and Fillers in Ontario, Canada, I’ve had the opportunity to treat many patients for Hyperhidrosis, more commonly known as “excessive sweating”. Botox® has literally changed the lives of many patients who have always been extremely insecure about their sweat glands acting up in public. Have your sweaty pits ruined a date or two 😥? Most people think of Botox® strictly as an anti-aging treatment, but it was originally designed to treat patients with chronic migraines and Hyperhidrosis. The sad thing is that even the anxiety about excessive sweating in public can lead to even more sweating 😭!
What is Hyperhidrosis ?
Here’s the deal… Hyperhidrosis is the fancy 👩🏼⚕️ medical term for excessive sweating and it’s actually pretty common. Many people around the world suffer from this uncomfortable disorder. At times it can be brought on by stress, anxiety, heat, or even that luxurious Gucci sweater that doesn’t breath well. Some people’s pits unleash Niagara Falls at the most inopportune times with no real rhyme or reason.
Where Can Hyperhidrosis Strike?
Most people suffer from excessive sweating in their underarms and the palms of their hands. It can also occur on the forehead, scalp, and feet. 30 - 50% of people who suffer from Hyperhidrosis actually have a family history of relatives that suffered from varying degrees of this disorder. It can also effect some women under their breasts.
What is Botox?
I treat patients with neurotoxins like Botox® or Dysport® daily to help them fight the signs of aging and look their absolute best! Botox® is a brand of neurotoxin AKA neuromodulator made from microbes that actually cause botulism, which is a kind of food poisoning. This can sound jarring at first, but don’t worry, it’s safe in very small doses and when used by a medical professional for specific treatments. Botox® can be used as a cosmetic treatment to prevent or minimize the signs of aging by relaxing the muscles in areas of the face like the forehead to smooth out wrinkles. It can also be used to treat neuromuscular conditions like muscle spasms, chronic migraines, and excessive sweating.
How Does Botox Treat Hyperhidrosis?
Here’s the fun part 💁🏼♀️. Botox® was designed to cause temporary muscle paralysis, which is why it's able to effectively freeze the muscles in the forehead giving you a more relaxed, rested look. Botox® targets the nervous system and when it's injected it essentially paralyzes the overactive nerves in areas like the underarm that cause excessive sweating. Layering with heavy coats in the cold, Canadian winters can definitely encourage your body to produce excessive amounts of sweat in the armpits, Botox® can help to counteract this.
How Often Will I Need Botox?
Typically, Botox will last 4-5 months when injected under the arms. We recommend that you stick to a regimen of Botox® injections to consistently keep the sweat at bay throughout the changing seasons.
