Our bodies sweat to regulate rising body temperature, which is a normal response. However, when this response occurs in excessive amounts, it can become a serious problem. The appearance resulting from excessive sweating can sometimes negatively affect an individual's social life and self-confidence, especially due to unpleasant odor. Excessive sweating can be due to structural reasons or linked to any illness or medication use.
Therefore, the patient should be thoroughly examined by a doctor, and if any cause is identified, a treatment plan should be devised accordingly.
Since 1996, botulinum toxin has been used safely and effectively in the treatment of sweating with high patient satisfaction.
Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the transmission between sweat glands and nerve endings in the applied area for approximately 4-6 months. This prevents excessive sweating and also addresses the issue of odor.
Since sweating is not excessive during the winter months, applying the treatment in April and May before the onset of summer allows patients to comfortably pass through the summer periods.
Patients undergoing sweating botox can return to their social lives without any complaints on the same day.
