sweat reduction

Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating, causing the body to produce more sweat than necessary, often without any identifiable cause. While this condition can lead to feelings of discomfort or embarrassment, it’s important to note that it is quite prevalent.


The goal of the hyperhidrosis treatment is to reduce or completely prevent sweating from a particular area, most commonly, the underarms.

Understanding the Mechanism of Botox for hyperhidrosis:

  • Botox injections work by inhibiting the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, responsible for signalling the sweat glands to produce sweat.

  • Individuals with hyperhidrosis, characterised by abnormal and excessive sweating, typically have overactive nerves triggering this condition.

  • When Botox is administered directly to the affected area, it temporarily immobilises the hyperactive nerves. Consequently, these nerves are unable to stimulate the sweat glands, resulting in diminished sweating.

  • It’s important to note that Botox exclusively targets sweating in the specific region where it’s administered.

Treatment Areas:

  • Currently, Botox has been approved for treating underarm hyperhidrosis.

  • Studies show that Botox can reduce armpit sweat production by more than 50% for at least 6 months.

Genius RF Microneedling can treat anywhere on the body where hyperhidrosis is present. The under arm is particularly popular. The heat generated by the radio-frequency energy effectively destroys the targeted sweat glands.

Advantages:

  • Targets and eliminates specific sweat glands effectively.

  • Delivers long-term results.

  • Minimally invasive and easily tolerated by patients.
