How is Sweat Botulinum Toxin Applied? – Op. Dr. Selçuk Yüce
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a medical condition that significantly impacts daily life, complicates social relationships, and erodes self-confidence. When deodorants and antiperspirants are insufficient to prevent excessive sweating, Botox offers a highly effective and long-lasting solution. Sweat Botox is a safe procedure that can be successfully applied to the underarms, palms, and forehead. Op. Dr. Selçuk Yüce comprehensively answers the most frequently asked questions about sweat Botox at his clinic in Ankara below.
What is Sweat Botox?
Sweat Botox is a medical procedure where botulinum toxin is injected into the nerve endings that activate sweat glands, temporarily deactivating these glands. Botox temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine from cholinergic nerve endings that transmit signals to the sweat glands. This prevents the sweat glands from being stimulated, significantly reducing or completely stopping sweating in that area. Sweat Botox can be effectively applied for both primary hyperhidrosis, which is excessive sweating with an unknown cause, and for excessive sweating problems related to stress or heat.
Botulinum toxin injections for excessive sweating are applied to which areas?
Underarm sweating botox is the most frequently preferred area. Excessive underarm sweating can cause serious discomfort both aesthetically and in social life; botox provides extremely effective results in this area. Palm sweating botox is applied to individuals complaining of hand sweating; however, since this area is quite sensitive, it is recommended to use a topical numbing cream before application. Forehead sweating botox is applied to eliminate problems of excessive sweating and shine on the forehead. Sole botox can also be applied to some patients, but this area is technically a more challenging application.
How is Sweat Botox Applied?
At Op. Dr. Selçuk Yüce's clinic, a minor iodine-starch test can be applied before sweat botox treatment to assess sweat intensity and location. This test makes the area of excessive sweating visible and helps determine injection points. For underarm application, numerous small injections are made over a wide area; the procedure is completed in approximately ten to twenty minutes. For palm application, since the area is more sensitive, comfort is provided before the procedure with topical numbing cream or cold application. Patients can return to their daily lives immediately after the application.
When does sweat botox show its effects?
The effect of sweat botox begins to be felt a few days after the application. The full effect usually appears within one to two weeks. At the end of this period, sweating in the treated area significantly decreases or stops completely. The duration of the effect in the underarm area is generally longer compared to other botox applications, averaging six to twelve months.
How long does Botox for sweating last?
The duration of action for sweat botox varies by region. In the underarm area, it typically lasts for six to twelve months, which is significantly longer than for facial botox. In the palm area, the duration of action may be slightly shorter, averaging six to eight months. With repeated applications at regular intervals, the duration of action may extend over time.
Is sweat botox safe?
Yes. Sweat botox is a safe and effective procedure when administered by an experienced specialist with approved products. This widely used treatment worldwide is recognized by many medical authorities as a standard method for treating hyperhidrosis. It does not adversely affect sweating in other areas of the body; only the sweat glands in the treated area are temporarily blocked. Systemic side effects are extremely rare.
What to Watch Out For After Sweat Botulinum Toxin
Do not apply deodorant or antiperspirant to the underarms for the first twenty-four hours after the underarm procedure. Intense exercise and activities that increase heat, such as saunas, should be avoided on the first day. The injection site should not be touched or rubbed for the first four hours. After hand palm application, it is recommended to avoid heavy manual labor and prolonged exposure to water for the first day.
