Hyperhidrosis is condition involving excessive sweating and is sometimes accompanied by bad odor. Underarm sweating that is not effectively managed with topical agents can now be treated using BOTOX®.


The excessive underarm sweating is caused by unusual working of the sympathetic nervous system which regulates the production of sweat. Over-activity of this system results in a production of sweat that exceeds our body’s requirement for maintaining a healthy temperature.

This FDA-approved treatment helps control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don't receive chemical signals, the excessive sweating is reduced.

At Nova Cosmetic Centers, we use BOTOX® to help hyperhidrosis excessive sweating patients throughout greater Orlando and the Central Florida area to boost self-confidence. 100 units of BOTOX® are injected through a very small needle into the skin of each underarm. Treatment with BOTOX® hinders the nerve endings of the motor endplates. Not only do the BOTOX® injections help cease the excessive sweating, there may be simultaneous disappearance of odor associated with decreased sweating, but this is not permanent.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I resume normal activity after the injections?

Normal activity may be continued directly following this procedure.
Heavy exercise however should be avoided for a few hours following the treatment.

When will I notice a difference?

In the first few months underarm sweating decreases. The full effect, sometimes including a reduction of sweat-related odor, can be noticed also. Most patients obtain the benefit of dryness with one treatment of BOTOX® for eight months
or longer. After that the treatment has to be repeated.
The BOTOX® hyperhidrosis treatment also aids in decreasing sweating at nighttime.

 

Is there anyone who can not receive this treatment?

Though BOTOX® is very beneficial and effective in profuse sweating control, patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not receive BOTOX® treatment.

 

Testimonial

After having this treatment in January, I am more than happy with the results.  I do not have to worry about the humiliation of armpit stains.  I have been sweat free for the past 4 months. With the humidity and the heat in Orlando this procedure is more than worth the small investment to avoid any embarrassment.
