FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the cause of Excessive Sweating?

Excessive sweat is a condition called Hyperhidrosin, likely caused by overactive nerves. Two root problems can cause this condition:

A person’s genetics – called primary focal Hyperhidrosis.
A side-effect of medication or a symptom of an underlying illness – is called secondary generalized Hyperhidrosis.
As well Menopause, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, obesity and even pregnancy can cause Hyperhidrosis.

When will the treatment take effect?

Your sweat will decrease by 95% within 48 hours, and the full effect will be seen within one week. Along with the sweating, there is a simultaneous disappearance of odour associated with the decreased sweating.

How long does the treatment last?

Botox® injections (or other botulinum toxin injections meant to block nerves associated with sweat production) usually requires about 2-4 weeks to take effect and must be repeated every 4 – 6 months.
