Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a common medical condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. While excessive sweating may seem like a minor inconvenience, it can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life, affecting their social, professional, and emotional well-being. Unfortunately, most people feel embarrassed and ashamed to discuss this matter with a doctor, leading to them suffering in silence. However, there is good news. With the recent technological advancements in medicine, several treatment options can help manage this condition. In this blog post, we will discuss two popular and effective options: Neurotoxins such as Botox and Dysport and Morpheus. Keep reading to learn more.

Neurotoxin injections are no longer just for wrinkles. They are now commonly used to treat hyperhidrosis. The neurotoxin solution is injected into the specific area where the patient is experiencing excessive sweating, such as their underarms or palms. Neurotoxins such as Botox work by interrupting the signals sent from the nerves to the sweat glands, significantly reducing the amount of sweat production in the targeted area. This treatment is quick, convenient and can be completed comfortably in our office. Botox for hyperhidrosis takes effect within a week, and results can last from  six months to a year, depending on the individual. Remarkably, most patients require just one treatment per year to maintain their results.

Another popular option for treating hyperhidrosis is Morpheus. This innovative treatment is a radiofrequency microneedling device that promotes the production of collagen and elastin in the treated area. Morpheus is an FDA-approved treatment used for the treatment of skin sagging and wrinkling, but recently, it has also proven to be effective in reducing sweating. This is done because Morpheus can eliminate sweat glands greatly reducing oil production in the treated area. However, unlike Botox, the Morpheus treatment for hyperhidrosis requires a series of sessions, approximately every 4-six weeks.However the effects can last several years. Patients report seeing results after the first session.

It’s essential to understand that both Botox and Morpheus treatments are safe and effective procedures. However, before making a decision, it’s advisable to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced providers to discuss the best treatment option based on your unique case. A healthcare professional will evaluate your overall health and talk to you about your expectations, preferences, and options.

While each has its merits, their results can last for a considerable amount of time, reducing the need for frequent retreatment.
