Axillary hyperhidrosis treatment Paris
Dermato Aesthetic Clinic – Paris, 16rd
Axillary hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating in the armpits, can be treated by botulinum toxin injection.
What is hyperhidrosis?
The hyperhidrosis (or hyperhidrosis) is a excessive sweat production by the sweat glands. This pathology is generally localized in the armpits, palms of the hand and soles of the feet. Hyperhidrosis is common and affects a third to half of the population. It occurs most often in women, due to the woman's hormonal activity during pregnancy and menopause, but everyone is potentially affected. The exact cause is not known, but it appears that several factors contribute to this excessive sweating:
- Stress and emotions, which stimulate the sympathetic nervous system that controls the body's sweat gland
- Genetic factors: the risk of having hyperhidrosis disorder is higher among members of the same family
- Certain chronic illnesses and medication use can also cause this condition: diabetes, kidney failure, fibromyalgia
Hyperhidrosis treatment results
The results are visible very quickly (3 days after the procedure) and are maintained in the patient for at least 6 months after treatment.
Indications and contraindications to treatment of hyperhidrosis
The risks of side effects are few and reversible: small bruises or small redness.
You can return to a normal pace of life immediately after treatment. However, it is not recommended to do sports or expose yourself to high heat during the 2 days following the treatment (e.g. sauna, hammam, etc.).
Hyperhidrosis treatment technique
Botox injection® to treat axillary hyperhidrosis is a relatively simple procedure.
Botulinum toxin is administered to the patient by subcutaneous injection. The doctor defines the area to be treated before the injection then injects the product every 3 millimeters.
It generally takes two ampoules of Botox® to cover the entire underarm area.
The course of treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis in Paris
Before considering a treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis by injection of botulinum toxin, you will meet a doctor from the Renécia dermato-aesthetic clinic, in order to identify the areas to be treated and define your objectives.
A 24-hour reflection period must then be respected before starting your treatment.
Once this period has passed, we welcome you back to the clinic for your session.
This begins with a demarcation of the area by the doctor. Then, he will carry out multiple intradermal injections in the area to be treated, while respecting a meticulous grid of points spaced approximately 1,5 to 2 cm apart.
An anesthetic cream may be applied 1 hour before the treatment to make it painless.
