Don’t Sweat It – Neurotoxins for Hyperhidrosis

How Neurotoxins Work

Neurotoxins temporarily reduce overactive nerve signals to sweat glands in specific areas of the body. By selectively targeting these nerves, treatment can reduce sweating in areas such as:

• Underarms
  
• Hands and feet (results may vary)
  
• Face
  

The procedure is performed by a qualified medical doctor to ensure safety and precision.

Preparing for Your Appointment

• Avoid shaving underarms 2–3 days before treatment.
  
• Inform your doctor if you take blood-thinning medication — you may be advised to pause it briefly.
  

Do not stop any prescribed medications unless instructed by your doctor.

What to Expect After Treatment

• Most patients can resume normal activities immediately.
  
• Reduced sweating typically begins within 2–7 days, with full effect up to 2 weeks.
  
• Effects may last several months, but repeat treatments may be required.
  
• Results for hands and feet may vary.

Potential Side Effects

Common mild effects may include:

• Pain, redness, or bruising at the injection site
  
• Headache or flu-like symptoms
  

Rare serious effects may occur, including:

• Muscle weakness
  
• Vision or breathing difficulties
  
• Loss of bladder control
  

Your doctor will discuss risks during consultation.
