For some people, heat, stress and strong emotions cause perspiration that can be embarrassing. There is a safe and highly effective solution for correcting excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) of the armpits, hands and feet: botulinum toxin injections. All the people we've treated, men and women alike, tell us how much this technique has changed their lives, both personally and professionally!
Benefits
- Treatment of hypersudationBotulinum toxin injection reduces the amount of sweat produced by around a third over a period of 4 to 8 months.
- Eliminates body odour: By blocking the production of sweat, botox prevents the proliferation of bacteria that cause unpleasant body odour, particularly in the armpits.
During the session
For greater comfort, the doctor applies an anaesthetic cream 45 minutes before the treatment. He will then grid the area and perform several superficial injections using very fine needles.
Results & efficiency
The effects on perspiration start to be felt after 4 to 10 days and last between 6 and 8 months.
Good to know
Botox injections block the nervous message that triggers sweat production in the sweat glands. This does not induce the transfer of perspiration to other areas of the body.
