DON’T SWEAT IT

How does Neurotoxin work?

• Neurotoxins block the nerves responsible for activating swear glands.
• Your nervous system normally activates sweat glands when the body temperature rises.
• It is how the body’ s automatic cooling system works. However, people suffering from hyperhidrosis, have overactive nerves signalling their sweat glands.
• Treating the area with neurotoxins directly into an area of your body that commonly sweats, essentially makes overactive nerves become paralysed.
• Sweating is only prevented in the specific area where Neurotoxins was treated.

How to prepare for the Hyperhidrosis treatment?

• Neurotoxin is administered in Géniale procedure room.
• Avoid shaving armpits two to three days before your appointment.
• The doctor needs to know if you take blood thinners, you may be asked to stop them for a few days to prevent bruising.
• Please do not stop any medications unless directed to by the doctor.

What to expect after the Hyperhidrosis treatment?

• You may resume normal activities immediately after treatment is completed.
• It takes two to seven days for sweating to abate in the treated area, up to two weeks for complete dryness.
• Dryness can last four to fourteen months.
• Results may not be as enduring for hands and feet.
• Treatment may only last six months before there is a need to repeat the procedure.

What are the risks and side effects of Neurotoxins?

The majority of people don’t experience them but possible side effects include:

• pain or bruising round the treated area

• flu-like symptoms
