Therapeutic neurotoxin treatments use medications such as Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) to temporarily relax overactive muscles or reduce excessive nerve signaling. Unlike cosmetic treatments that soften facial lines, therapeutic treatments are performed to relieve pain, improve function, or manage certain medical conditions. Every treatment begins with a thorough consultation to determine whether you are an appropriate candidate.

Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

Botox® can effectively treat excessive sweating involving:

• Underarms

• Hands

• Feet

• Forehead

• Scalp

Treatment works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. Many patients experience significant improvement for several months.

Neurotoxins temporarily block communication between nerves and targeted muscles or sweat glands.

Depending on the condition being treated, this may:

• Reduce muscle contractions

• Decrease muscle tension

• Reduce painful spasms

• Prevent activation of sweat glands

• Improve comfort and daily function

The medication does not permanently alter muscles or nerves. Effects gradually wear off over time.

Most patients describe the injections as very tolerable. The procedure uses an extremely small needle and typically takes only a few minutes.

No downtime is usually required, and most patients return to normal activities immediately.

Most patients begin noticing improvement within:

3–7 days

Maximum benefit typically develops around:

10–14 days

Some therapeutic conditions may continue improving over several weeks.

Most therapeutic treatments last approximately:

3–4 months

Duration varies depending on:

• The condition being treated

• Individual metabolism

• Muscle strength

• Dose administered

Regular maintenance treatments are typically recommended.
