Sweatox is a brand name for a cosmetic treatment that aims to reduce excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis. The treatment is a form of botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox. It works by blocking the chemical signals that stimulate the sweat glands, thereby reducing sweating in the treated area.

​

Sweatox is commonly used to treat excessive sweating in the underarms, palms, and feet. The treatment involves injecting small amounts of the botulinum toxin into the affected area, which temporarily blocks the nerve signals that cause excessive sweating. The treatment typically takes about 30 minutes, and the results can last from several months up to a year, depending on the patient's individual response to the treatment.

​

The benefits of Sweatox include:

Reduction in excessive sweating: Sweatox can significantly reduce sweating in the treated area, improving the patient's quality of life and reducing social anxiety.

Non-surgical and non-invasive: Sweatox is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that can be performed in a doctor's office, with no downtime or recovery period required.

Safe and effective: Sweatox has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for hyperhidrosis, with minimal side effects.

However, as with any cosmetic treatment, Sweatox has some potential side effects, which can include:

Pain or discomfort at the injection site

Swelling or bruising at the injection site

Headache or flu-like symptoms

Allergic reactions

​

Sweatox is not a permanent solution for hyperhidrosis and will need to be repeated usually every 6 months to maintain the results.

 

Consult with a qualified dermatologist to determine if Sweatox is the right option for you.
