Stay dry and confident with Botox® and Dysport® treatments designed to reduce excessive sweat production.
Botox® and Dysport® are effective treatments for hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, providing relief by blocking the chemical signals from nerves that stimulate sweat glands. This treatment is commonly used for areas like the underarms, hands, and feet, offering a significant reduction in sweating and improving quality of life for individuals dealing with this condition. Results typically last several months, making it a convenient and effective option for managing excessive sweating.
Treatment areas
At Lift Clinic Toronto, we primarily treat hyperhidrosis in the underarms and scalp. These areas often experience excessive sweating due to overactive sweat glands, and Botox® and Dysport® for hyperhidrosis can effectively manage and reduce this condition.
How it works
Botox® and Dysport® target the nerves responsible for activating sweat glands. By blocking these chemical signals, the treatment effectively reduces sweat production in the targeted areas. The result is a significant decrease in sweating, helping individuals manage symptoms of hyperhidrosis more effectively.
What to expect
The treatment session typically lasts 20-30 minutes, during which small amounts of Botox® or Dysport® are injected into the skin of the affected area. Patients may experience a slight sting or discomfort during the injection, but a topical anesthetic can be applied to minimize this. Results are noticeable within a week, with the peak effect occurring around two weeks post-treatment. The effects usually last between 4 to 6 months.
After treatment care
Post-treatment, patients should avoid strenuous activities and hot environments for 24 hours to minimize the risk of complications like bruising. It’s also advised to avoid applying deodorant or lotion to the treated area for the first 24 hours. Normal activities can typically be resumed immediately after the procedure.
