Hyperhidrosis

Botox injections are a treatment for hyperhidrosis, a condition where excessive sweating occurs. Botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin, temporarily blocks nerve signals, affecting the nerves that stimulate sweat glands. The injections are shallow and cause minimal discomfort. The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is inhibited, reducing sweat production. The effects are temporary, lasting several months. Repeat treatments are often necessary to maintain the reduction. Botox injections have shown high clinical efficacy, providing relief for those experiencing unresponsive sweating. They can be targeted to specific areas, minimising side effects on surrounding tissues. However, Botox is a medical procedure and should be administered by a qualified healthcare professional such as Dr Choudry. Potential side effects include temporary bruising, redness, or muscle weakness at the injection site. Individuals considering Botox should consult a healthcare provider to discuss benefits and risks, and determine the most suitable treatment plan.
