What is Sweat Botox?
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a condition where sweat glands work more actively than normal, causing excessive perspiration on the skin surface. This problem, which is often seen on the palms, armpits, and soles of the feet, negatively affects social life, clothing choices, daily comfort, and self-confidence. It may even cause psychological distress if left untreated.
Conventional solutions such as powders, sprays, or creams usually provide only temporary relief and cannot completely stop sweating. Sweat Botox, on the other hand, offers a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution. By blocking the chemical signals from nerve endings that stimulate sweat glands, Botox reduces excessive sweating in targeted areas and significantly improves quality of life.
Why is Sweat Botox Performed?
Sweat Botox is performed to reduce or completely eliminate the discomfort caused by excessive sweating. It is especially effective in areas where sweat glands are dense, such as the armpits, palms, and soles of the feet.
The treatment works by interrupting the signal transmission of the sympathetic nervous system to the sweat glands. When this signal is blocked, the sweat glands in that specific area stop producing sweat during the effect period, providing significant relief.
How is Sweat Botox Applied?
Treatment Procedure
Sweat Botox is administered using very fine-tipped needles.
Injections are made into the skin layer where the sweat glands are located.
The procedure takes around 30 minutes.
For sensitive areas such as the palms and soles, short-term anesthesia may be applied to reduce discomfort.
During the Procedure
Mild burning or pain may occur during injections.
Local anesthetic cream or ice can be applied before treatment to minimize discomfort.
An iodine-starch test may be performed beforehand to identify the most active sweating areas, ensuring more precise and effective results.
After the Procedure
For the first 4–6 hours, avoid perfumes, deodorants containing chemicals, and heavy exercise.
Do not massage the treated areas or take hot showers on the same day.
Avoid aspirin and similar medications to reduce the risk of bruising.
Who is Suitable for Sweat Botox?
Sweat Botox can be applied to almost everyone between the ages of 18 and 65. However, it is not recommended for:
Pregnant and breastfeeding individuals
People with muscle disorders such as Myasthenia Gravis
Those with infections at the application site
Patients using certain medications such as Penicillamine, aminoglycoside antibiotics, chloroquine, or immunosuppressants like cyclosporine
How Long Does Sweat Botox Last?
The effects of Sweat Botox begin to appear within 5–7 days after the procedure.
The results typically last for 4–6 months.
With regular sessions, the duration of effect may extend up to 9 months, depending on the individual.
Although Sweat Botox is not a permanent solution, it provides long-term relief from excessive sweating and can be repeated at intervals to maintain results.
