Botulinum toxin is an effective treatment for excessive sweating. It blocks the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, reducing perspiration in the treated area. The injection is typically applied to areas like the underarms. Results generally last for 6 to 9 months.
The injection process is quick, taking only 2 to 3 minutes. However, a numbing cream is applied to the area beforehand, which takes about 15 to 20 minutes to take effect.
Most patients find the treatment to be relatively pain-free. You may experience a slight scratch or sting during the injection, but any discomfort is brief. The use of a numbing cream helps to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible, making it well-tolerated even for those with sensitivity.
Yes, botulinum toxin is considered safe when administered by a trained medical professional. It has been used by millions of people for over three decades in cosmetic treatments and even longer for various medical conditions. The safety profile is well-established, and risks are minimal when proper procedures are followed. A consultation ensures that the treatment is suitable for you.
