“In our country, the Health Ministry approved medications containing botulinum toxin are: BOTOX®, DYSPORT®, and NABOTA®.
Botulinum toxin is not snake venom; it is a naturally derived, protein-based medication produced from bacteria.
Sweating botox is typically used in individuals who have excessive sweating problems in areas such as the armpits, palms, or soles of the feet.
The sweating botox procedure should be performed by expert physicians who are well-versed in anatomy and have received adequate training.
The effectiveness of sweating botox may vary from person to person but generally lasts for 4-6 months.
When done by experts and in proper hands, sweating botox procedures can be performed under doctor supervision for a lifetime.
WHAT IS SWEATING BOTOX?
Botulinum toxin is a commercially produced form of a neurotoxin produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. This toxin temporarily relaxes muscles by preventing nerve endings from signaling to the muscles. Sweat glands are also under nerve control like muscles, so sweating can be reduced or stopped by preventing the overactivity of sweat glands with the sweating botox procedure.
Sweating botox is generally used in individuals who have excessive sweating problems in areas such as the armpits, palms, or soles of the feet. Besides being a non-surgical option, this procedure is often a fast and effective method.
WHY IS THE SWEATING BOTOX PROCEDURE PERFORMED?
Sweating botox is a medical procedure performed to reduce or prevent excessive sweating. Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) usually occurs in areas such as the armpits, palms or soles of the feet and can negatively affect a person’s daily life. Sweating botox is performed using botulinum toxin and reduces or stops sweating by preventing the sweat glands from working excessively. This procedure is preferred because it is a non-surgical option and generally provides fast and effective results. Sweating Botox can also eliminate problems such as embarrassment, discomfort or stress caused by sweating in social or work life.

The effect of botulinum toxin usually begins within 7-10 days and lasts for approximately 3-4 months.
