When the weather gets warmer, especially in the summer, many people start suffering from excessive sweating. There are even some people who sweat much regardless whether the weather is hot or not. In medicine, this condition is called hyperhidrosis, that is when people perspire excessively when it is not hot.

To treat it, people are prescribed to use deodorants or antiperspirants, but neither of them can be helpful. Therefore, for those who would like to get rid of excessive sweating, we recommend to have Botox injection.

Botox is an effective treatment option not only for smoothing out the wrinkles and fine lines on the face, but it is also a good treatment alternative for hyperhidrosis. Most excessive sweating can be in such areas as armpit, palms, feet, and etc. Botox injection is applied into those areas and temporarily blocks the nerves that are responsible for the activating the sweat glands.

After Botox injection, one may notice the reduction in the amount of sweating because the nerves in that specific area cannot signal sweat glands, therefore one will not be able to sweat. The thing that you must know is that Botox injections prevents only the specific area where it is injected.

Many people might want to know how the Botox injection is applied. It is not a difficult and long procedure which can be performed within 5~10 minutes. The doctor uses a fine needle through which he injects the Botox. To prevent pain, patients can be applied a numbing cream or ice. After the procedure, you can return to work or daily life immediately.

Botox injections can be followed with such potential side effects as swelling, bruising on the injection site, droopy eyelid (for facial injections), eye dryness and tearing (for facial injections). That is why after procedure, you must not touch, rub the injection area.

At She's Plastic Surgery Clinic, we use Botulex manufactured in South Korea. Botulex is a safe product that has been approved by the Korean Food and Drug Administration.
