Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating is an alteration of the vegetative nervous system that produces more sweat than is necessary to regulate our body temperature.
There are different degrees of sweating, and that depends on the number of sweat glands a person has. We are born with around 3 million sweat glands and a specific number of them are activated during puberty, which will determine the intensity of sweat that we are capable of generating. Women have more sweat glands but men have them more active.
Hyper sweating or hyperhidrosis refers to excessive sweating that is generally located on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet or armpits, although it can occur in other areas of the body, such as the head and face.
The infiltration of Botulinum Toxin in the affected area is the only non-surgical alternative that manages to interrupt the hyperactivity of the sweat glands.
The treatment consists of the infiltration of Botulinum Toxin in the affected area through an extremely fine needle. It is a quick, effective and practically painless technique that is performed in the doctor's office on an outpatient basis.
Treatment in the armpit area does not require anesthesia and with few injections we can considerably reduce sweating in this area. The completion of the treatment does not require sick leave and, once finished, the patient can return to his daily life with complete normality, with the peace of mind of having normalized the disorder that caused excessive sweating.
The effects can last between 6 months and a year, depending on the area and the particular characteristics of each case.
The results are observed progressively a few days after the application of the Botulinum Toxin and the effects can last between six months and a year, depending on the area and the particular characteristics of each. Annual maintenance is recommended, although there is the possibility that in some patients, with few sessions, the elimination of excess sweating will be definitive.
