Effect of the procedure and rehabilitation
How much does sweating decrease after the procedure?
- The average amount of sweat produced decreased by 88% two weeks after the first injection
- The effect lasts up to 9 months if procedures are carried out on a regular basis (no more than once every 12 weeks)
- 99% of patients rated their treatment tolerance as good or excellent four weeks after the first injections
- When botulinum toxin is reintroduced, the body quickly copes with the effect of the toxin. Therefore, in the future, 3-4 procedures per year will be required to eliminate sweating
2-3 days after the administration of botulinum toxin, you can already notice the effect. In the period 2-3 weeks after injections, the sweat glands will stop
produce sweat. To prevent sweating from resuming immediately and to prevent the injection area from becoming inflamed, you should follow the recommendations:
- Don't sunbathe
- Do not visit baths and saunas
- Do not massage in the injection area
- Do not use cosmetics on your skin (except those prescribed by your doctor)
- Avoid physical activity for 7 days
The effect of the injection procedure lasts about 6-12 months. When botulinum toxin is reintroduced, the body quickly copes with the effect of the toxin. Therefore, in the future, 3-4 procedures per year will be required to eliminate sweating.
