BOTOX FOR SWEATING

Sweating is a natural body activity that maintains the body's balance of heat, water and salt. Even normal amounts of sweating cause a lot of us trouble. We resort to various methods to reduce sweating.  Various products applied to the surface of the skin by rubbing or spraying are the most used products. Sweating is too much for some people to benefit from these products. This condition is called hyperhidrosis and affects 0.6-1% of people.

Excessive sweating:
Areas that sweat too much vary from person to person. In some people, armpit sweating causes people to change their clothes several times during the day, while in some others, sweating on the hands causes people to hesitate to shake hands. Patients who consult the most are the ones with armpit and hand sweating problems. Both are the situations that cause the most social constrictions. People who sweat more than usual all over their body are also not few. Another problem that these people complain about at least as much as sweating is the bad smell. Although the causes of excessive sweating are not fully known, it has been observed that it occurs more likely in emotionally sensitive people.

Armpit sweating:
The most common complaint we encounter is armpit sweating. Excessive sweating in this area is difficult to camouflage because it soaks and stains the clothing. Also, if that area is not cleaned for a few hours, the bacteria will grow rapidly and start to smell bad. The smell of armpits both irritates the person and the other person around. In general, anti-sweat or anti-odour creams and sprays applied under the armpit work. Frequent showers are also a solution. But it may not be possible to do this as often as necessary in business life. Thus, the search for a solution to armpit sweating begins.

Hand sweating:
Excessive sweating on the hand often increases when under stress. The stress -of the person who knows that the sweating will be more- increases and the person starts to sweat even more. In short, a vicious circle occurs. Hand sweting increases with stress during the exam and can cause the ink to scatter and the person to leave the exam early. Again, an increase in sweating from excitement during a job application causes a bad impression on the other person. Even shaking hands with anyone starts to be a nuisance.
