Botox® for Hyperhidrosis
IN HOLMDEL, BRICK, & COLTS NECK, NJ
Sweat No More with Botox® for Hyperhidrosis
At Iorio Plastic Surgery & Medspa, we understand the challenges of living with severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis or excessive underarm sweating, especially when antiperspirants fail to offer relief. Botox® has emerged as a revolutionary treatment, going beyond its renowned ability to smooth wrinkles to effectively address this condition. With quick injections that take less than a minute, Botox works by blocking the chemical signals that activate sweat glands, offering up to six months of respite from excessive sweating. This minimally invasive procedure ensures the botulinum toxin stays just below the skin’s surface, directly targeting the problem area without significant downtime.
What Is Botox® for Hyperhidrosis?
Botox® for hyperhidrosis is an innovative treatment method administered by aesthetics practitioners, designed to significantly reduce excessive sweating, particularly in the underarm area. This procedure involves quick, shallow injections that introduce botulinum toxin just beneath the skin’s surface, effectively “turning off” sweat production by blocking the chemical signals to sweat glands. Lasting up to six months, this treatment offers a long-term solution for those seeking relief from severe sweating, with minimal time spent on administration and recovery.
How Does Botox® for Hyperhidrosis Work?
Botox® for hyperhidrosis utilizes botulinum toxin type A, a natural and purified protein, to temporarily halt the secretion of chemicals that trigger the body’s sweat glands, effectively reducing excessive sweating by disrupting the signals between nerves and glands. To minimize discomfort, the skin may be numbed prior to the procedure, wherein Dr. Iorio employs a very fine needle to administer small, precise doses of Botox just beneath the skin across the affected area, based on a thorough evaluation. Following the treatment, a follow-up appointment with Dr. Iorio is typically recommended within 1 to 2 weeks to assess the outcome and ensure optimal results.
