What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a disease according to the ICD-10 classification and occurs in various forms and degrees. Statistically speaking, excessive sweating mainly occurs on the hands and soles of the feet (60 percent), while 40 percent occurs in the armpits and around ten percent on the head or forehead. Of course, there are also clinical pictures in which the symptoms occur in combination.
Doctors differentiate between the degrees of severity of hyperhidrosis and classify it as severe hyperhidrosis with dripping sweat. Botox for hyperhidrosis in Berlin is one of the best-known treatments and is able to permanently eliminate the problem.
How does Botox work against excessive sweating?
When Botox is used to treat excessive sweating, not only are the nerves in the affected areas of the body paralyzed, but warm and dry skin is created at the same time. What was originally seen as a mere side effect has proven to be a real stroke of luck in the treatment of hyperhidrosis in Berlin and elsewhere. Botox works by disrupting the signal transmission of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is also responsible for activating the sweat glands.
How is hyperhidrosis treated with Botox in Berlin?
The treatment of hyperhidrosis with Botox takes place at the Belladerma specialist center for aesthetic treatments in Berlin. Botox is injected into the skin over a small area. Botox is only approved for axillary hyperhidrosis, i.e. the treatment of excessive sweating in the armpits.
Treatment is carried out by making ten to 20 small punctures in the skin. In this way, the Botox is evenly distributed and no area is left out.
Is the treatment of hyperhidrosis painful?
Because either an icing spray or an anesthetic ointment is always used, the treatment of hyperhidrosis with Botox is virtually painless. The main thing to bear in mind is that the Botox procedure can prevent the need for surgery. However, the success of the treatment is not permanent, so Botox should be injected again at intervals of around six months. Rare side effects include minor hematomas or nerve injuries. However, both usually heal quickly and without complication
