No sweat patches with the Botox Dry treatment!

Do you want to go into summer prepared, without underarm sweat patches and thus avoid moments of embarrassment? Would you like an effective anti-perspirant during the warm months? Then the GLOW – Botox® dry treatment offers a solution. No more sweaty spots under the armpits or changing shirts, t-shirts or blouses several times a day. Read in our blog how this treatment works and how you can combat sweat patches with botox.

Perspiration levels vary from person to person 

Do you ever wonder if you’re the only one who seems to suffer from this? No, luckily you’re not! Excessive perspiration, or hyperhidrosis, is often something we find very annoying. It can also affect your social life considerably. Despite being a natural way of the body to cool down, excessive sweating is often accompanied by insecurity. Sweating is quite normal, but its amount and intensity varies from person to person. Some people hardly sweat at all while others sweat excessively. When overheated, the millions of sweat glands (which everyone has) secrete moisture that lands on the skin, then evaporates and provides cooling. Both men and women can suffer from excessive sweating. It often occurs under the armpits, in the palms of the hands and under the feet. Only, excessive sweating under the armpit is usually perceived as most preventable. With good hygiene and healthy diet, the smell of perspiration can decrease. Shaving the armpits can also help with this, only unfortunately these are not long-term solutions. 

Here’s what you can do about excessive sweating 

Do you find that excessive sweating is an obstacle in your daily life and therefore affects your self-confidence? Then a GLOW – Botox® dry treatment could be the perfect solution! By now almost everyone is familiar with botox for the face, but botox can also be used to combat excessive perspiration. It blocks the action of the nerves that excite the sweat glands, inhibiting sweat production. 

How does a GLOW – Botox® dry treatment work? 

During the intake consultation at our location in Rotterdam or Nijmegen, the wishes, expectations and the treatment will be discussed beforehand. It is also important that the armpits are well shaved prior to treatment. We are often asked whether the treatment hurts. The answer to this question is no, on the contrary. A numbing cream is applied to the skin beforehand, making the treatment virtually painless. Once the anesthetic has worn off, the Botox injections are administered into the armpit. During the Botox® dry treatment at the Van Rosmalen Kliniek, about 15 pricks are placed in the armpit, which will significantly reduce sweat production. The total duration of the treatment is about half an hour. 

How quickly do you notice results? 

Immediately after treatment, you may experience some bumps in the armpit. This is the botox still spreading in the skin, nothing to worry about! Already within three to four days you will notice that sweat production is reduced to a great extent. Your armpits will feel soft and dry, allowing you to confidently walk the streets again. The active ingredient will naturally break down after about four to six months. You can then choose to repeat the treatment. This way the result remains optimal and you can go through life without worries.
