HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENT
By Dr. Shane Seal & Nurses Joelene & Kristine
BOTOX Therapeutic is used to treat excessive sweating in areas such as the underarms, palms of the hands and soles of feet. Dr. Seal, Nurse Jordan, or Nurse Joelene will use very fine needles to inject BOTOX in the desired area. The amount of product required depends on the severity of your condition. Many insurance companies cover this treatment.
How it works.
BOTOX treatment for hyperhidrosis is a quick 10-minute procedure. The product works beneath the surface to decrease activity of the sweat glands. The product is delivered through small injections all over the desired area to ensure full coverage of the sweat glands. Some patients report the injections feel like a small pinch. You can expect the product to take effect around the 24-48h mark.
This treatment is not permanent and will typically have to be performed every 8-12 months.
