 Excessive sweating can be controlled by botulin injections

Excessive sweating can be controlled by botulin injections

Do you often fell like being in cold sweat, similarly like during the exam and your shoes are squelching? Then you may have a hyperhydrosis, which means excessive sweating. The good news is that this problem can be easily controlled with botulin injections into the sites affected by hyperhydrosis: your armpits, palms and soles.

Physician dermatovenerologist Edita Naruševičiūtė-Skripkienė, who carries out this procedure at Vilnius “Kardiolitos Hospital” assures that:

  • This is a simple and safe procedure involving subcutaneous injections of small botulin doses into the sites affected by hyperhydrosis. Don’t worry that botulin injections may completely discontinue sweating as the sweat is excreted from the glands that are present in the entire human body.
  • The procedure is painless – a special numbing cream and very thin needles are used during the procedure to ensure as little as possible discomfort. Usual daily activities and work can be resumed at once after the procedure.
  • Botulin injections reduce sweating by 80 % at least with the effect lasting for 6-12 months. Discomfort caused by excessive sweating can be forgotten if the procedure is carried out regularly.
