Question 1

What is the purpose of the treatment?

Accepted Answer

The purpose of botulinum toxin injections for hyperhidrosis is to temporarily paralyze the sweat glands, which can reduce sweating in people with severe hyperhidrosis who have not responded to other treatment options.

This can provide significant relief from the discomfort and disruption caused by excessive sweating, and also improve quality of life by reducing the embarrassment and social anxiety associated with excessive sweating.

Question 2

How long does the treatment take?

Accepted Answer

The treatment usually takes only a few minutes. The injections are administered with a fine needle and are usually well tolerated.

Question 3

How often do I need to have the treatment done?

Accepted Answer

The effects of the treatment usually last for several months, but repeated treatments may be needed to maintain the desired level of sweat reduction. The frequency of treatments will depend on your individual needs and can be discussed with our team of experts.

Question 4

Are there any side effects of the treatment?

Accepted Answer

Some people may experience minor side effects such as redness, swelling or pain at the injection site, but these usually resolve on their own within a few days.

In rare cases, more serious side effects may occur, including infections or allergic reactions. We will inform you in detail about the possible risks and side effects before the treatment.

Question 5

Will the treatment be painful?

Accepted Answer

The treatment is usually well tolerated and causes minimal discomfort. Some people may experience a feeling of pressure during the injections, but this is usually short-lived. We will make sure that the treatment is as uncomfortable as possible.

Question 6

Is the treatment covered by insurance?

Question 7

Are there any risks associated with the treatment?

Accepted Answer

As with any medical procedure, there are risks associated with botulinum toxin injections for hyperhidrosis. The most common risks include minor side effects such as redness, swelling, or pain at the injection site, which usually resolve on their own within a few days. In rare cases, more serious side effects may occur, such as infections or allergic reactions. It is important that you discuss the potential risks with our team of experts before deciding to undergo treatment.

One potential risk of botulinum toxin injections for hyperhidrosis is that the treatment may not be effective for everyone. Some people may not experience a significant reduction in sweating after treatment. In these cases, alternative treatment options may be considered. It is important to discuss the expected results of treatment with your healthcare provider before deciding on treatment.

Another potential risk of botulinum toxin injections for hyperhidrosis is that the treatment may cause temporary muscle weakness or paralysis in the injected area. This is usually temporary and resolves on its own within a few weeks. However, in rare cases, the muscle weakness or paralysis may last longer or spread to other areas of the body. It is important that you discuss the possible risks with us before deciding to undergo treatment.

Question 8

What should I expect after treatment?

Accepted Answer

After treatment, you may experience mild side effects such as redness, swelling or pain at the injection site. These side effects are usually minor and resolve on their own within a few days. It is important that you follow the aftercare instructions provided by our team of experts to achieve optimal results and minimize the risk of complications.

These instructions may include avoiding strenuous activity or heat for a period of time and not touching or rubbing the injection site. If you experience serious or persistent side effects or are concerned about your recovery, be sure to contact us for further evaluation.
