Dermal fillers like Botox not only do wonders for erasing facial imperfections, but also help in treating excessive sweating problems.
Cosmetic Surgery Applications:
When this variation of the botulinum toxin is injected under the facial skin, it can temporarily paralyze the muscles under the face that cause deep wrinkles. It is particularly effective in lessening the appearance of lines around the eyes as well as around the nose. The results can last for several months, but repeated treatments are required to keep the face looking youthful and less wrinkled.
Remedy For Excess Sweating:
Others seek relief from a more embarrassing problem, severe perspiration in underarm area. The body normally sweats in order to keep itself cool, but for over a million people, the underarm sweat glands are overactive in their production. This is technically known as severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Botox has been an FDA-approved therapy for this problem since 1994, i.e., roughly 15 years, and has a very safe medical track record.
When normal and even prescribed anti-perspirants are ineffective, this chemical may be helpful in reducing or eliminating the problem. In fact, clinical studies have shown that 81 percent of sweating patients treated with Botox experienced at least a 50 percent reduction in underarm sweat, compared with only 41percent of those, given other kind of medication.
And 55 percent of the treated patients were able to find complete relief from the over perspiration whereas only six percent of the patients given other treatments could have full relief. It works by prohibiting chemical signals from reaching the sweat gland nerves. It will only affect the glands that receive the injections, so all body sweating will stop.
Many patients see a huge difference in the amount of their sweat after just one month. And while the results are not permanent, one treatment can last for six months. Each treatment takes only 10 to 15 minutes with roughly a dozen injections being made in the underarms to target all the glands.
There may be some pain associated with the injections, as well as some bleeding, but these are both typically minor in nature. On the plus side, this remedy is often covered by insurance because it is a medical problem and not just a cosmetic issue. This can be a great treatment option for getting rid of confidence-destroying underarm sweat.
