Stop sweating
Sweating can also be eliminated - temporarily or permanently, depending on the chosen method. At the Brandeis Clinic, we eliminate sweating by applying botulinum toxin. Before selecting a treatment type, patients should consult their choice with our physicians.
Elimination of sweating with botulinum toxin
Botulinum toxin is used to eliminate sweating on various parts of the body. The most commonly treated areas are the armpits and palms. The treatment utilises the fact that botulinum toxin prevents the transmission of nerve signals to sweat glands, which means they do not receive instructions to start operating. The treatment itself is very simple - a physician applies the substance under the skin using very tiny needles.
The treatment takes approximately 10 minutes. The effect appears in 2 to 10 days and lasts on average 6 months.
After the treatment
It is important to let the skin rest after botulinum toxin treatment. Clients should not touch the skin, massage it or apply cosmetics. There may be some slight reddening or swelling, but it will disappear quickly. We recommend not shaving the treated area for at least the next 72 hours.
Who can be treated?
Selection of a specific method for the elimination of sweating must be consulted with a physician. Procedure is suitable for healthy adults over 18. Botulinum toxin treatments are not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
