Many think that botox is used only in cosmetics and to tighten the face, but in fact, it has many medicinal uses, including reducing sweat.
It is a neurotoxin made from microbes that cause a type of food poisoning, but do not worry, it is very safe if used appropriately with Dr. Najla Al Zoghbi.
Started as a cosmetic treatment, Botox reduces facial wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing facial muscles.
Dr. Najla Al-Zoghbi also uses Botox to treat neuromuscular diseases, such as migraines, muscle spasms, and hyperhidrosis.
Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating, and it refers to any abnormal sweating, such as sweating when the weather is not hot.
People who sweat excessively often wet their clothes and deodorants do not work well for those with the condition.
What is a botox injection for sweat?
Dr. Naglaa Al-Zoghbi uses botox injections for people who suffer from hyperhidrosis.
Botox is approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration for people who sweat excessively from their armpits
Dr. Najla Al Zoghbi also uses botox to reduce sweating in other areas such as hands, feet, and face.
Botox works to treat sweating by blocking the nerves responsible for activating the sweat glands.
Normally, the nervous system activates the sweat glands when the body temperature rises, this is how your body automatically cools down.
In people with hyperhidrosis, the nerves stimulate the sweat glands to a large degree.
When botox is injected directly into the area of your body that is commonly sweaty, your overactive nerves are essentially paralyzed.
When your nerves cannot signal to the sweat glands, you are not sweating, however, botox only prevents sweating in the specific area where it is injected.
