How to perform the treatment of Hyperhidrosis with the Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX® / Dysport)

The Appointment

We suggested an appointment before the injection of Botulinum Toxin for the correct evaluation of the case and planning of the treatment. Besides, it is the time for explanations to the patient and an important time to answer eventual doubts. If the patient comes from another place/city, the appointment can be scheduled for the same day of the procedure, and the previous explanations can be given by telephone or E-mail.

The Procedure

It is performed at the clinic for cases of axillary, plantar or facial Hyperhidrosis. In cases of plantar Hyperhidrosis, the treatment is performed at the day hospital. The treatment is performed under local anesthesia . After the local anesthesia, the Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX® / Dysport) is applied in the skin of the affected area. The whole procedure takes an average of 15 minutes for each armpit and 25 minutes for each hand.

Preparation before the treatment

Just a good hygiene of the area to be treated with medicinal soap is necessary .

After the treatment of axillary Hyperhidrosis

It is not necessary any special care. The patient can return to his professional activities immediately. Exercises can be practiced on the following day.

After the treatment of Hyperhidrosis of the hands

The patient can return to his normal activities immediately after the end of the local anesthesia effect. We just advise the patient to avoid the use of the hands in activities that expose them to the dust, grease, etc, for one day. Exercises can be practiced on the following day. Exercises with weights can be practiced after two days.
