Treatment of hyperhidrosis with botulotoxin

Hyperhidrosis is an unpleasant feature of the body, characterized by increased sweating, not only in areas with an increased concentration of sweat glands, but also throughout the body as a whole. In Ukraine, this problem is equally common among men and women, the main provoking factor is constant stress.

The cause of hyperhidrosis of the armpits and other parts of the body can be not only a stressful state of the body, but also some infectious and somatic diseases. Also, some groups of drugs can cause increased sweating: antidepressants and cholinomimetics.

Another reason for the development of increased sweating is the uneven distribution of fat in the body and its accumulation in the armpit area. This leads to increased friction and temperature in this area, which leads to excessive sweating and an unpleasant odor.

Excessive sweating can be uncomfortable and can interfere with normal life and limit social contact. Sweat and heat are good breeding grounds for microorganisms, so hyperhidrosis, in addition to an unpleasant odor, can also cause skin infections caused by fungi or bacteria.

The work of the sweat glands is regulated by receiving nerve impulses. With hyperhidrosis, iron too often receives a signal and only elimination of the original cause can affect the production of sweat. If this is not yet possible, resort to one of the common treatments for excessive sweating.

Sweating can be reduced by surgery or by injection of botulinum toxin. The latter is a less invasive treatment.

Treatment of hyperhidrosis with botulinum therapy is based on the property of botulinum toxin to block receptors that receive a signal for sweating. After injections of Dysport and other preparations based on botulinum toxin, sweat is not released.

Indications and contraindications for the treatment of hyperhidrosis with botulinum toxin

In addition to hyperhidrosis itself, Dysport and other similar drugs can reduce sweating in several areas. This relieves discomfort during physical activity and prevents unpleasant odors. According to reviews, after the injection of botulinum toxin, the secretion of sweat from the treated area almost completely stops.

Do not be afraid of a sharp limitation of sweating: the accumulated toxins, salts and water will not accumulate, but are simply excreted from the body in other ways - for example, through the kidneys.

But at the same time, there are a number of contraindications for the provision of such a service:

• oncological diseases;
• diseases of the neuromuscular system;
• diseases of the circulatory and hematopoietic systems;
• inflammatory processes in the area of ​​drug administration;
• any chronic diseases associated with the cardiovascular system or having a serious effect on it;
• a history of allergic reactions to botulinum toxin;
• carrying a child or feeding period.

We care about the safety and health of our patients. Our doctors do not allow people with at least one of the above contraindications to the procedure. The cost of neglecting these restrictions for a few shots can be high.

How is the procedure going and what complications can there be after the injection?

Before signing up for a consultation, we recommend that you read the basic information about botulinum therapy: what are the nuances of preparing for it, how the procedure goes, and what complications may be if the precautions are not taken.

Before the procedure, it is advisable to remove hair in the armpit area if injections will be carried out in this area. It is also prohibited to use deodorants a week before the service.

Immediately before carrying out the manipulation, the doctor conducts a sweating activity test in order to select the required dose of the drug. It doesn't take long.

After that, the doctor determines the injection sites, treats this area with an antiseptic solution and proceeds to administer the drug.

Dysport injection is painless and is carried out with a thin needle. At the request of the patient, it is possible to use a local anesthetic. The procedure takes about 30 minutes.

It is important to follow several rules during the recovery period after the procedure:

• do not use deodorants and antiperspirants;
• avoid swimming pools, baths and saunas;
• reduce physical activity if possible.

This will delay the likelihood of side effects or complications. In the practice of our specialists, complications appear in a moderate form. As a rule, this is soreness, swelling and hyperemia in the injection area, which disappear in a few days. Allergic reactions to the pain reliever very rarely occur, and at the request of the patient, you can do without it, thereby reducing the cost of the procedure.

The result is worth it: sweating is dramatically reduced, unpleasant odors and stains on clothes disappear during physical activity. Many reviews on the procedure mention the duration of the effect - increased sweating ceases to bother up to six months. Compared with the introduction of botulinum toxin to enlarge the lips or smooth out wrinkles, eliminating sweating in this way has a more pronounced and lasting effect.

How much does botulinum toxin injection cost for hyperhidrosis?

The price for the service is calculated individually for each patient. The cost depends on the selected drug and its quantity, therefore, it is announced to each patient after making an appointment for a consultation.

In order for you to know as much as possible about the upcoming manipulation, you can make an appointment for a consultation, where they will answer all your questions about the procedure, its consequences and skin care after the intervention.
