Extra sweat bothering you? Excessive sweating, known as Hyperhydrosis, in most cases may be treated with Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA). When Botox is injected into the skin, it can block the signal between the nerve endings and the sweat glands in the dermis- meaning they don’t get the message to produce sweat. The Botox binds itself to the nerve endings near the injection site and creates a barrier, which impedes the distribution of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, a chemical our nerve cells make to communicate with each other, and this disrupts the message sent from the nerve endings to stimulate the production of sweat- and the treated area experiences a sweat reduction almost immediately.
At VITAHL, we offer Botox for Sweat as well as Miradry- an excessive sweat treatment for underarms. Call us to learn more and schedule a consultation!
