Book AppointmentWhat Is Botox® for Sweating?
Dr. Folake Pepple recommends Botox® injections for patients with hyperhidrosis. This purified protein is commonly injected into the underarms, and other areas such as palms and the feet. The medication interrupts signals from nerves that cause glands to produce sweat, reducing output of perspiration. Meanwhile, the body has nearly five million other sweat glands to keep internal temperature safely regulated. Because treatment causes less sweat to be produced, there is no risk of it backing up or increasing perspiration in other parts of the body.
What can I expect from this treatment?
During an unhurried consultation, Dr. Folake Pepple takes time to understand the extent of your concerns, to determine if this treatment is right for you. She explains the procedure and risk of possible side effects from the medication. Then:
- Skin is cleansed.
- The doctor performs a series of injections using a very fine needle.
- Treatment is brief, and there is no downtime. You may return to work or other activities right after your appointment.
- Within four weeks, you see noticeable improvement in the condition, continuing for about six months.
- Most patients schedule follow-up treatments to maintain dryness.
