Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating that goes beyond what the body typically needs to regulate temperature. It commonly affects the underarms, palms, feet, or head and can interfere with everyday activities, clothing choices, work, and social situations.
At Adam & Eve Medical Aesthetics, hyperhidrosis treatment in Scottsdale may involve injections of a neuromodulator such as Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport into the affected area. These treatments work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands, helping reduce excessive sweating in the treated area.
For patients struggling with persistent underarm sweating or other localized symptoms, injectable hyperhidrosis treatment can provide an effective, non-surgical option for managing excessive perspiration.
Injectable hyperhidrosis treatments may be appropriate for men and women who experience persistent excessive sweating that is difficult to manage with antiperspirants or other topical treatments. Treatment may be considered when excessive underarm sweating or sweating in other localized areas begins to interfere with daily activities or quality of life.
Before recommending treatment, it is important to determine whether neuromodulator injections are appropriate for your individual symptoms and expectations. Some patients may be advised to try topical options before considering injectable treatment for excessive sweating.
At Adam & Eve Medical Aesthetics in Scottsdale, AZ, your provider will discuss your symptoms, medical history, previous treatments, and goals during a personalized consultation. This evaluation helps determine whether hyperhidrosis treatment with Botox or another neuromodulator is an appropriate option for reducing excessive sweating.
Patients may begin to notice reduced sweating within several days following hyperhidrosis treatment, with the full effects developing over approximately two weeks. Because the injections target nerve signals in the specific treatment area, they can reduce localized excessive sweating without preventing normal perspiration elsewhere on the body.
The duration of results can vary from patient to patient. For many patients, the effects of injectable hyperhidrosis treatment last for several months before a follow-up treatment may be needed. Your provider at Adam & Eve Medical Aesthetics can recommend a treatment schedule based on your individual response and goals.
Neuromodulator injections for hyperhidrosis treatment in Scottsdale are outpatient procedures performed by doctors, nurses and licensed aestheticians at Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics. To prepare for your treatment, it is important to understand and follow these guidelines. Avoid massages or laying directly on the treated area for four to six hours post-treatment. Waxing, tweezing and bleaching are best avoided at least 24-hours prior to your injections. Discontinue aspirin, ibuprofen or acetaminophen about two weeks before receiving treatment to reduce the opportunity for bruising. If you take prescription blood thinners, it can increase your risk of bruising. Please discuss this with us, but do not discontinue any prescribed medications without having a discussion with your prescribing doctor.
On the day of your appointment, arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled procedure to allow time for paperwork and questions. Once you are comfortable in our treatment room, a nurse will mark the areas for treatment and begin injecting the neuromodulator. The process takes approximately thirty minutes total. Most patients report, at most, minimal discomfort such as a slight pinching, stinging or burning sensation. This can often be controlled with a topical anesthetic, if necessary.
You are free to return home or to work immediately after your treatment. Some swelling, bruising or redness in the treatment area is normal and can typically be controlled with cold compresses and Tylenol or ibuprofen. Do not rub or massage the area for a few hours. Avoid strenuous activity for the first day after treatment. If you have questions or concerns, give our office a call.
