Frequently asked questions
FAQs about Excessive Sweating
How does the treatment work?
Botox injections block the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which binds with your sweat glands to signal the release of sweat.
Normally, your nervous system activates your sweat glands when your body temperature rises. This is how your body automatically cools itself.
In people with excessive sweating however, the nerves that signal the sweat glands are overactive.
When you receive Botox injections directly into the area of your body that commonly sweats, your overactive nerves are essentially paralyzed. When your nerves can’t signal your sweat glands, you don’t sweat. Botox only prevents sweating in the specific area where it’s injected.
Which areas can be treated?
We are able to treat the armpit area.
How long do results last?
