Botox For Excessive Sweating

Botox For Excessive Sweating

Botulinum toxin application (also known as Botox or Dysport) is a treatment that blocks the neural stimuli coming to the sweat glands in the injection area and thus reduces sweating significantly.

This procedure aims to help patients experiencing excessive sweating in their armpits, soles, palms, groins, and forehead or who do not sweat excessively but want to spend their summer comfortably without using deodorants.

When does the botox for excessive sweating take effect? How long does its effect last?

The drug starts taking effect 3 days after the procedure and reaches its full effect after 10-14 days. Perspiration returns to normal in 5-6 months. Since the drug's effect completely disappears after 6 months, it does not permanently affect or harm the sweat glands.

Is botox for excessive sweating a painful procedure?

Before the procedure, an anesthetic cream is applied to the area. Since it is performed with fine-tipped needles, the pain decreases significantly.
