According to the National Hyperhidrosis Society, excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, affects millions of people each year. This isn’t just a cosmetic concern, either. It can impact your confidence and lead to heightened social anxiety.
At AesthetiSpa Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center, we understand the effects excessive sweating can have on your daily life. We also offer research-backed treatments, such as BOTOX®, to combat the issue. Led by Dr. Christy L. Cone, our team provides compassionate, personalized care in a calming environment.
The Link Between Sweating and Anxiety
Anxiety can cause the release of stress hormones like adrenaline, which activate sweat glands. This physiological response is natural. For those with hyperhidrosis, though, it can be overwhelming and feel like it never ends.
Hyperhidrosis can affect the underarms, palms, feet, or face, and the anxiety triggered by visible sweat can exacerbate the problem. It’s a vicious cycle: The more anxious you are, the more you sweat.
How BOTOX Can Help With Excessive Sweating
Many are surprised to learn that BOTOX – often associated with wrinkle reduction – is FDA-approved to treat excessive sweating under the arms. When injected into targeted areas, BOTOX temporarily blocks the nerves that trigger sweat gland activity. This significantly decreases perspiration.
People struggling with hyperhidrosis opt for BOTOX for several reasons, including:
- It offers fast, noticeable results: Most patients experience a dramatic reduction in sweating within days.
- It’s non-surgical: BOTOX is a minimally invasive solution with no downtime.
- It increases confidence: You can enjoy social activities without the constant worry of sweat marks or odor.
BOTOX is a great option for those who haven’t found relief through prescription antiperspirants or other treatments. Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals with moderate to severe localized sweating.
