Long Term Control for Excessive Sweating

Los Angeles cosmetic doctor says long term control for excessive sweating can be done

Los Angeles, CA / While most people wear some sort of deodorant or antiperspirant, these control agents have to be applied daily. Zara Harutyunyan, D.O.M., R.N., a doctor with a Los Angeles cosmetic medicine clinic says there is a long term control for excessive sweating.

“Botox®. Most people think of Botox as something to reduce wrinkles, but it has broader applications. It can be used to control excessive sweating,” she said. “This is a fairly new application for the Botox® injections, but all the research so far shows it works and works very well.

The botulinum toxin, the full name for Botox®, works the same way on wrinkles as sweating. It blocks nerve impulses. the LA cosmetic doctor said sweating is triggered by nerves which are stimulated by heat, nervousness or possibly something else. When the nerves can’t send signals, the body can’t react.

“Botox® injections into the underarm, hands and feet don’t destroy the sweat glands. It turns them off. The sweat glands need a signal from nerves to be switched on. When the nerve can’t send a signal, excessive sweating is greatly reduced or eliminated,” she said.

Botox® has been used for more than a decade in cosmetic procedures. It’s use for reducing sweating (perspiration) is now available in Canada, Europe and South America as well as Los Angeles.

One thing that is important to note: the injections do not stop body odor. Dr. Harutyunyan said body odor is cause by the microbes that live on everyone’s skin. There’s just no practical way to get rid of them. These microbes consume sweat and their discharge creates body odor.

“We can offer long term control excessive sweating at key points on the body. Particularly in the underarm, this goes a long way to controlling body odor,” she said.

The Botox® injections may take more than one session to be fully effective. However, these injections take moments and once done, a person can resume regular daily activities immediately. Dr. Harutyunyan said the typical treatment lasts for months, with some cases lasting as long as a year and a half.

“It’s long term control for excessive sweating. You get up and you don’t have to worry about an antiperspirant. You don’t have to worry about sweaty palms when you shake hands or handle things. It’s a very effective treatment for people with the medical condition hyperhidrosis,” she said.
