Injections against excessive sweating
A relatively new approach to reducing excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) is the use of protein injections produced by the bacterium Clostridium. This drug is injected with small injections directly into the skin in areas where excessive sweating is produced, such as the armpits.
Effect of treatment:
The effect of this treatment is often very effective, but unfortunately temporary. After 3 to 9 months, the symptoms of excessive sweating usually return. Therefore, it is necessary to repeat the treatment regularly.
Pain and specific considerations:
The injections may be perceived as painful, especially on hands. Special anesthesia may be used specifically for hand treatments because the hands are more sensitive. However, there is a risk of paralyzing the muscles of the hands for several weeks to months after the treatment.
While this treatment is effective in reducing excessive sweating, patients should be aware of the temporary nature of the results and the potential risks, especially with hand treatments. It is advisable to discuss this with a physician and address any questions or concerns before undergoing the treatment
