What is Hyperhidrosis?
Everyone sweats, but individuals with hyperhidrosis sweat excessively even when their body doesn’t need to be cooled. This condition can either be hereditary or the result of an underlying condition. While individuals whose hyperhidrosis is caused by an external factor need to address their underlying condition to get rid of their hyperhidrosis, people born with the condition usually have to undergo cosmetic treatment to stop their symptoms.
Individuals with hereditary hyperhidrosis usually sweat from one or two specific areas. The most common of these include the:
- Palms
- Feet
- Underarms
- Head
Individuals with this type of hyperhidrosis also do not sweat while sleeping and their symptoms typically begin in childhood or adolescence. While this condition is rarely medically threatening, it can be a source of shame and embarrassment for the people that suffer from it.
What are my Treatment Options?
When it comes to treating hyperhidrosis, MD Beauty Labs offers some of the most effective ways to improve excessive sweating for good: BOTOX® and AccuTite. With BOTOX®, this treatment is FDA-approved, minimally-invasive, and clinically proven to reduce sweating for a long time.
During treatment, injectable serum is targeted at problem areas that the patient consistently sweats from. A professional member of our team will careful inject the right amount to control sweating. The active ingredient in BOTOX®blogs the neurotransmitter that communicates with the sweat glands, which will effectively disable them.
Because BOTOX® is temporary treatment, we recommend coming in for repeated injections as needed. Over-the-counter treatment options may be able to cover up the problem, but BOTOX® can stop it completely.
The other option you have available is AccuTite, which takes advantage of “hot” radiofrequency in order to affect the tissue in the treatment area in such a way that it helps to control the excess sweating. AccuTite uses specialized techniques to deliver heat to the sub-dermal layers of skin, which allows for real changes to be made.
FAQs About Hyperhidrosis
How long does Hyperhidrosis treatment last?
The effects of Botox in the underarm typically last for 6-7 months but may vary for every individual. People who receive the treatment can see improvement in 2-4 days post treatment.
What should I not do after the treatment?
Avoid swimming, exercising or strenuous activity for 24 hours post treatment. Avoid any extreme temperatures such as sauna, hot baths, cold plunge for 24 hours post treatment. Do not touch, massage the treated area to avoid the Botox to migrate to other areas. Keep the area clean, do not use any products or antiperspirants immediately after treatment. Do not shave the area for 24 hours post treatment.
