How to combat sweating in summer?

Sweating is produced by the action of sweat glands and the evaporation of water, so sweating is a natural function of the body. By sweating, the body manages to cool the skin and regulate the temperature.
In other words, we generally sweat when temperatures are higher or when we are physically active. However, sweating can also be the body’s response to situations that make us feel uncomfortable, angry, nervous, fearful or embarrassed.
Although it is a natural function of the body, some people produce excessive sweating. These are often patients who present with hyperhidrosis due to overactive glands.

Treatment of hyperhidrosis with Botulinum Toxin

Excessive sweating is uncomfortable for many patients, especially as summer approaches. In the armpits it generates bad odor and stains on clothes and in the feet it also produces humidity.
For this reason, many people consult specialists in Aesthetic Medicine if it is possible to treat hyperhidrosis. There is a very simple and painless treatment with botulinum toxin, which helps control sweating in certain areas of the body.

The procedure depends on the area to be treated, but in general it is performed with local anesthesia, a topical cream, if it is in hands and feet. If you want to reduce sweating in the armpits is not necessary to use anesthesia.
The application of botulinum toxin is subcutaneous and blocks nerve conduction to reduce the activity of the sweat glands and muscles.

The results are visible from the first or second week of application. Depending on the characteristics of each person, the treatment usually lasts between 6 to 8 months.
