Hyperhidrosis Botox

What Is Hyperhidrosis Botox?

Hyperhidrosis botox is a botulinum toxin treatment that may be planned to help reduce excessive sweating by decreasing the stimulation of the sweat glands in the affected area.

The most commonly treated areas include:

• underarms
• palms
• soles of the feet

The treatment is planned by the physician according to the individual complaint and the specific treatment area.

What Is Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which sweating exceeds what is necessary for normal temperature regulation and begins to negatively affect social life, daily comfort, and quality of life.

Depending on the area involved, it may lead to concerns such as:

• sweat marks on clothing in social situations
• difficulty shaking hands or holding objects due to sweaty palms
• slipping or discomfort inside shoes because of sweating on the soles
• reduced self-confidence in daily life

Who May Be Considered for Hyperhidrosis Botox?

Following a physician consultation, hyperhidrosis botox may be considered in suitable individuals in cases such as:

• underarm sweating that affects daily life and clothing comfort
• palm sweating that causes difficulty in daily activities
• sole sweating that creates discomfort in shoes or affects walking comfort
• continued symptoms despite the use of topical products, subject to physician evaluation

Hyperhidrosis does not always have the same underlying cause. In some individuals, it may be primary hyperhidrosis, while in others additional hormonal or medical causes may need to be considered. This is clarified during consultation.

How Is Suitability Assessed?

During the suitability assessment, the physician usually evaluates:

• the severity and distribution of the sweating complaint
• which area is affected, such as the underarms, palms, or soles
• how strongly the problem affects daily life and quality of life
• previously used products or medical treatments
• whether any additional tests or specialist evaluation may be necessary

This stage is important for both accurate treatment planning and realistic expectation management.

How Is Hyperhidrosis Botox Planned?

Planning varies according to the treatment area:

• Underarms: the sweating area is usually mapped and treatment is planned regionally.
• Palms: sensitivity and comfort management are especially important, so planning is adjusted accordingly.
• Soles: injection points are determined according to the regional density of sweating.

The treatment points, dose, and follow-up interval are determined by the physician according to the severity of sweating and the individual’s needs.

What Should Be Considered After the Treatment?

Although aftercare may vary depending on the area treated, the following points are commonly important:

• following the physician’s advice regarding sport, sauna, steam rooms, and hot environments during the first days
• avoiding unnecessary pressure or massage on the injection areas
• being cautious about hand use or walking comfort in the early period when the palms or soles have been treated
• attending the planned review appointment
