What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is the term used to describe excessive sweating beyond what is physiologically necessary. It can be localized or generalized, based on the distribution of sweat.
What are the symptoms of hyperhidrosis?
The symptoms of hyperhidrosis are excessive, uncontrollable sweating in the affected region(s) that disrupts daily life. Symptoms can easily be spotted if sweating is dripping down palms, leaving sweat marks on clothing, or dampening shoes. Those who suffer from hyperhidrosis may have “episodes” when they start sweating excessively for no reason (i.e. absence of appropriate stimuli). Most report this as a daily occurrence, with some experiencing this multiple times a day. A noticeably absent symptom that can help in diagnosis, is that those with primary hyperhidrosis tend to not sweat excessively while they sleep, and experience their symptoms during the day.
There is currently no cure for hyperhidrosis, but fortunately there are many treatments available.
When taken by mouth: Glutathione is possibly safe when used in doses up to 500 mg daily for up to 2 months.
Neurotoxin injections for hyperhidrosis are a common treatment option for the condition. It is a less common use of the substance that is known for its use in cosmetic procedures, such as reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Currently, the FDA has only approved this type of treatment for primary axillary (underarm) hyperhidrosis, however many specialists will use it “off-label” to treat other areas of the body. It is not always recommended for hands as it can cause temporary pain and weakness in the hands, nor the feet as they are too sensitive. It is most effective for the underarm region, and is also commonly used to treat the forehead and scalp regions. These injections contain a neurotoxin, which affects the structure or function of the nervous system. It's the same toxin that causes a life-threatening type of food poisoning called botulism. Practitioners use it in small doses to treat health problems, such as hyperhidrosis. Neurotoxin injections alter the function of neurotransmitters, which are chemicals found in the body that are responsible for making the body react in certain ways (i.e. sweating when it’s hot). The injections block the nerves responsible for activating your sweat glands in the treatment area.
Benefits of Anti-Wrinkle
The benefits of anti-wrinkle Botox (Botulinum Toxin) treatments include:
Wrinkle Reduction: Botox injections effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly in areas like the forehead, around the eyes (crow's feet), and between the eyebrows.
Muscle Relaxation: Botox blocks nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, leading to temporary muscle relaxation. This not only smoothens existing wrinkles but also prevents the formation of new ones.
Youthful Appearance: By relaxing facial muscles, Botox provides a more youthful and refreshed appearance, helping individuals look less tired or stressed.
Non-Invasive: Botox treatments are minimally invasive compared to surgical procedures. There is no need for incisions or downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
Quick Procedure: Botox injections are typically quick, often taking less than 30 minutes, making them suitable for individuals with busy schedules.
Results Within Days: While it may take up to two weeks for the full effects to be noticeable, many individuals experience visible results within a few days after the treatment.
Temporary Effects: The effects of Botox are temporary, lasting around 3 to 5 months. This allows individuals to assess the results and decide if they want to continue with the treatment.
Customizable Dosage: The dosage of Botox can be adjusted based on individual needs, ensuring a tailored approach to achieve natural-looking results.
Minimal Discomfort: The injection process is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. Some practitioners may use topical anesthetics to further enhance the comfort of the procedure.
Boost in Self-Confidence: Many people experience a boost in self-confidence and improved self-esteem after Botox treatments, as they feel more satisfied with their appearance.
