How Do Botox Injections for Excessive Sweating Work?
By Dr. Mary LupoHow Do Botox Injections Help Excessive Sweating?
Botulinum toxin blocks specific nerve signals. In this case, a trained doctor will use Botox injections to block nerve signals that are responsible for sweating. When your body believes that you need to cool down, these signals travel from your brain to your sweat glands, causing you to sweat. Using Botox injections for excessive sweating can block those signals at the sweat gland nerve receptor, stopping you from sweating in certain areas.How Long Do Botox Injections Last?
Botox injections are not going to last forever. You should expect your Botox treatment to last for 4-6 months. The nerve signals will regenerate; by six months, you will probably need another treatment. The more treatments you get, the longer you should be able to go between Botox treatments.Work With the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology to Help with Excessive Sweating in New Orleans
