This summer, ‘No Sweat & No Smell’ with Botox

March 26, 2010 - PRLog -- “People who don't suffer from excessive sweating can’t understand the problems faced by persons suffering from it. It really affects your lifestyle completely. Your style of dressing, your outdoor activities, your self esteem…it affects everything “said Natasha, a Chandigarh based designer.

Sweating is a body function that helps in regulation of body temperature. However, in some persons, the sweat is produced far more than what is required to maintain constant body temperature. This condition is known as Hyperhidrosis. Excess sweating is called Secondary Hyperhidrosis, when underlying medical condition like hyperthyroidism, psychiatric disorders, obesity and menopause etc causes it.   Secondary Hyperhidrosis generally involves the entire body. Excessive sweating without a known cause is called Primary Hyperhidrosis. This is a much more common condition than secondary hyperhidrosis and common locations are armpits, hands and feet. All humans have some armpit sweating but in many persons, axillary hyperhidrosis involves extreme, dripping sweat in the armpit area. This type of excessive armpit   sweating is resistant to deodorants and odor controlling medications.    


Excessive armpit sweating usually appears in adolescence and can become a socially embarrassing problem. Such excessive sweating can cause both psychological and physical problems leading to social isolation and emotional trauma. “Persons having excessive armpit sweating might have to change their clothing two to three times a day. In women, the excess armpit sweating leaves permanent marks on expensive silk clothes, just by wearing them once and that dress can’t be worn again. Persons with excess sweating of palms avoid shaking hand with others and in interview and job, they are perceived as ‘Nervous’. Persons with excess sweating of soles have wet and smelly socks and shoes.  These are ideal candidates for treatment” said Dr K M Kapoor, Director at AntiClock-Age Reversal Clinic& Medispa in Chandigarh.

 
The Botox treatment for sweating has become a very popular treatment all over the world among teenagers, especially before a big occasion like college joining/leaving party and among young women, just before marriage as part of Pre-Bridal Package. In this year’s Oscar award ceremony, Botox for sweating was rumored to be the most popular cosmetic treatment done before the occasion, amongst Hollywood actors and actresses. Unlike available options like antiperspirants, Botox targets sweating at its source. With a few tiny injections given by the doctor, Botox enters the specific glands at the targeted sites responsible for excessive sweating. It blocks the release of a chemical that signals the perspiration at the targeted site. Botox, when injected into affected areas of the skin of armpits, effectively reduces sweat production for 6 months or more .The treatment takes just about 15-30 minutes. Botox treatment is also an effective remedy for sweating of the palms of the hands and soles of feet.

When used to treat Hyperhidrosis, Botox injections should necessarily be administered by a specially trained physician who is familiar with the procedure and a patient can go in for as many doses as required provided the intervals between the doses is strictly regulated. Leading cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. K M Kapoor, Director, AntiClock Medispa, has administered Botox to clients for both cosmetic purposes and Hyperhidrosis and is one of the most experienced Botox experts in India.    Form the coming summer season, Anticlock Medispa is offering a package “Smooth & Dry underarms” of Botox treatment for underarms sweating for INR 30000, wherein 3 sittings of Laser hair removal from underarms are given complimentary with this offer.

“I would keep on  wiping my armpits, run to the bathroom to put tissue papers in my armpits, stand in front of AC with air directed to my armpits, but nothing helped much and stopped sweating till I opted for Botox. This one small procedure has really changed my life, for better" said Natasha, after her Botox treatment. With this available option, one can have a wonderful summer time, without fear of excess sweating.
