Sweating is a very common natural phenomenon. High temperatures, vigorous exercises, stress, physically demanding work and various other factors make us sweat. Sweat generally results in wetness of the body and is unfortunately accompanied by odour.
Some people, however, tend to sweat profusely even when just sitting idly. That is, there is no particular reason for them to sweat like high temperatures or physically demanding activities. This situation results in a loss of water from the body which is definitely a bad sign! Also, factor in the odour and the wetness of the body which results in multiple changes of clothes throughout the day. In public places, this can be a cause of embarrassment as well.

What Is
perspiration reduction?
Heavy sweating, also often referred to as Hyperhidrosis, is a medical condition which results in loss of water from the body. This is not only responsible for body odour, but heavy water loss from the body may result in dehydration which may pave the way for further medical issues.
Perspiration reduction uses Botox in order to minimize and control excessive sweating from the arm-pits, hands, feet and even the face.
How does
botox work to reduce sweating?
Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox) is a neurotoxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium Botulinum.
Botox is injected in very small quantities wherever one finds excessive sweating like the face, arm-pits, hands, feet or any other body part. After being injected into the specific muscle, the nerve signal to that particular muscle is blocked thus halting the secretion of sweat.
This muscle is thus temporarily paralyzed; relaxing it.
Botox is an excellent choice for hyperhidrosis as it helps control the secretion of sweat.
What are the
advantages of botox for perspiration reduction?
Following are the advantages of Botox for perspiration reduction:
- As sweating is reduced considerably, one does not feel embarrassed in public and their self-esteem is boosted.
- One does not have to change clothes as frequently because of the reduced sweating levels.
- The risks of various issues which arise due to dehydration are nullified as water levels are balanced in the body with controlled sweating.
- The procedure is pretty quick, effective and requires low downtime for recovery.
