Botox Excessive Sweating

On a daily basis, the sweat glands produce sweat to regulate the body’s temperature to 37°. This is a classic sweating mechanism.

In the case of hyperhidrosis, the body conditions itself in excessive sweating to regain its usual temperature. The sweat glands then produce a large amount of sweat and the body sweats a lot.

Primary hyperhidrosis can follow a stressful situation and intense emotions. Dietary habits and the consumption of caffeine, alcohol or spicy food also modify the correct body temperature. Extreme heat and intense physical exercise are also responsible.

Advanced, so-called excessive sweating can be explained by many factors:

• A genetic predisposition
• Hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy or menopause
• Taking medications, such as antidepressants
• Certain illnesses , such as hyperthyroidism, Parkinson’s disease, HIV/AIDS
• A situation of overweight

Excessive sweating is restrictive and difficult to live with. It is perceived as a real handicap by the patients concerned.

It limits the affected person’s daily activities and social interactions . People feel embarrassed and prefer to isolate themselves , affecting their self-esteem and quality of life.

Hyperhidrosis also causes stress and anxiety, especially in social or work situations, where excessive sweating can be visible and embarrassing.

Itching, irritation and skin infections accompany patients who suffer from this condition.

BotoxⓇ is the ideal alternative to combat excessive sweating.

It is injected directly on the areas to be treated, either the armpits or hands. The product temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that activates the sweat glands, thereby reducing sweat production.

Skin Marceau dermatologists treat excessive sweating that affects the armpits ( axillary hyperhidrosis ) as well as palmar hyperhidrosis .

Treatment against hyperhidrosis always begins with an initial consultation with a dermatologist in Paris , practicing at Skin Marceau. Following a careful clinical examination and after checking your medical history, we can determine if the use of Botox is eligible for your needs and establish a tailor-made treatment protocol.

At Skin Marceau, we are committed to establishing a relationship of trust with each of our patients and to understanding the motivations that drive them to seek our expertise.

The injection is not painless but tolerable. Application of a topical anesthetic is suggested to minimize any discomfort or discomfort during the procedure. Our dermatologists perform the injection using a cannula or a fine needle to diffuse small amounts of botox in the area prone to excessive sweating.

Following treatment, patients may experience mild pain and inflammation at the injection site. These reactions fade naturally and quickly.

The treatment does not involve any social eviction. You can resume your activities at the end of the session. We will tell you the precautions to take and the instructions to follow in detail to ensure optimal results.

The use of botulinum toxin is a reliable and risk-free procedure when it is administered by competent dermatologists with perfect mastery of the act. Botox injections involve rigor and precision of gesture.

Pregnancy and/or lactation are contraindications to the injection of botulinum toxin . Possible neuromuscular diseases also contraindicate botox treatment.

We invite you to provide us with your entire medical history as well as your medication intake.

The results of Botox injections for hyperhidrosis are usually noticeable within a few days after the procedure and truly noticeable within 1 month.

By its nature, botulinum toxin is an absorbable product with temporary effects. The body eliminates it gradually and its benefits can last between 4 to 8 months .

Injections must be repeated regularly to maintain results.

The treated patients report a marked improvement in their quality of life. They no longer sweat excessively and are freed from this psychological burden.
