What does excessive sweating mean?

Axillary hyperhidrosis , or excessive underarm sweating, can lead to discomfort , awkward moments, and a hampered social life . It’s not a sign of poor personal hygiene, but rather a condition in which the sweat glands in the armpits are overactive . Other medical conditions, such as hyperthyroidism or menopause, can also trigger excessive sweating.

How does the BTX treatment against armpit sweat work?

BTX helps temporarily block the sweat glands in the armpits . This is achieved by inhibiting the nerve signals that produce sweat, which reduces the activity of the sweat glands. This can reduce sweat production by up to 80-90%.

What can I expect during the treatment?

The BTX treatment for excessive sweating is quick and takes only about 30 minutes . Here’s a brief overview of the process:

  • Consultation with Dr. Detollenaere to discuss the situation
  • Disinfection of the area to be treated
  • Injection with the prescribed dose of BTX
  • After the treatment you can continue your normal activities , but we advise against exercising on the day of the treatment

What are the expected results?

You’ll start to notice subtle results within 3-5 days, but the full effect usually only becomes apparent after 10-14 days . While the treatment is effective, the results are temporary. After 3 to 4 months, the BTX will begin to clear from your system, and sweat production will return. Regular follow-up treatments can help maintain the results.

FAQ

Using a thin needle, muscle relaxant injections are administered into specific facial muscles. These injections block the signals between the nerve and the muscle. This leads to reduced muscle activity, making wrinkles and lines less visible, or even disappearing completely.

Wrinkles begin to fade within 2-8 days after the injection. The optimal effect is visible after about 4 weeks. This effect lasts between 6-8 weeks. From 8 weeks onwards, the effect gradually diminishes. After 12 weeks, the effect is approximately halved, and after 4 months, 80% of the effect has disappeared. Many patients choose to repeat the treatment every 3-4 months, but this varies from person to person. Men, athletes, and those with a more muscular build may require larger and more frequent doses.

Although wrinkle injections are a medical procedure performed by a doctor and carry some risks, they are generally considered safe with a low risk of complications.

  • Common bruising and swelling at the injection site.
  • Mild headache after the injection in about 10% of cases, usually not longer than 24 hours.
  • Drooping of the eyebrow or eyelid occurs in 2% of patients and can last up to 3 weeks.
  • Sometimes multiple treatments are necessary for the best result.
  • Infections are very rare.

The treatment is minimally painful. There’s a slight prickling sensation during the injection and a brief burning sensation. While the treatment itself only takes about 5 minutes, there are preparatory steps such as taking photos, signing a consent form, and disinfecting, making the entire appointment approximately 30 minutes long.

Your aesthetic doctor, Dr. Kim Detollenaere, may advise you to avoid frowning or making other facial expressions frequently for the first few days.

  • Avoid pressure on the treated area for the first 24-48 hours.
  • Do not touch or massage the treated area, especially within 24 hours.
  • Wait to apply makeup for at least 6-8 hours after the treatment, or preferably until the next day.

A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled approximately two weeks after your initial treatment to assess the results. Regular treatments are recommended to maintain the effects; you can discuss this with your doctor during your appointment.
