Botulinum toxin-for excessive sweating
Botulinum toxin
The press ridiculed the celebrities who have their armpits dried with BTX so that the borrowed robes do not get sweat stains. About two and a half million people can’t laugh about it: They sweat excessively all the time, even on hot and cool days, without any apparent reasons or triggers. Due to a malfunction in the nervous system, sweat glands are excessively stimulated and overreact at any opportunity.
The torment of hyperhidrosis is genetically predetermined. Those affected mostly suffer from increased sweating from puberty, especially when stressed and even with the slightest physical effort. Excessive sweating can also be caused by a condition like hyperthyroidism or as a side effect of medications, such as hormones. The suffering is severe – also because one feels observed by others with a wrinkled nose. Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum have found in a study: “The suffering of hyperhidrosis patients is even higher than that of neurodermatitis or psoriasis patients.” We can do something effective. The aforementioned treatment with BTX is not a Hollywood gimmick but a highly solid, proven, and safe method. The active ingredient is injected into the skin through small injections and blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to the sweat glands. The effect takes effect immediately and lasts for several months.
