BOTOX FOR HYOERHIDROSIS IN RICHMOND HILL

At York Wellness Clinic in Richmond Hill, most patients need just one Botox session to manage excessive sweating in the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet.

• Underarms: Typically, 50 units of Botox are injected into each underarm. This treatment can provide dryness for 6 months or more.
• Palms (hands):: Around 50 to 100 units per hand may be used, depending on severity. Results generally last 6 to 12 months.
• Plantar (feet):: Similar to palms, Botox for the soles may require 100 to 150 units per foot, with effects lasting 6 to 12 months.

To ensure the best results and minimize any side effects after your Botox treatment for underarms, palms, or feet, follow these simple aftercare tips:

• Avoid touching or massaging the treated area: For at least 24 hours, avoid rubbing, pressing, or applying pressure to the area. This helps prevent Botox from spreading to unintended muscles.
• Skip heavy exercise or sweating: Avoid intense physical activity, saunas, hot showers, or anything that causes heavy sweating for the first 24–48 hours.
• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water after your session. It helps support overall healing and wellness.
• Avoid other skin treatments: Refrain from getting facials, waxing, or any skin treatments in the injected area for 48 hours.
• Keep the area clean and dry: Especially for underarms, use gentle cleansers and avoid harsh deodorants or antiperspirants for at least 24 hours.
• Be patient with results: It may take 2 to 7 days to notice reduced sweating, with full results appearing after about 2 weeks.

You may be a good candidate for Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis if the following conditions apply:

• You experience excessive sweating in the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet that affects your daily life
• You do not have any neurological disorders
• You do not have any conditions affecting the nerves or muscles

fter receiving Botox injections for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), most patients begin to notice a reduction in sweating within 2 to 5 days. However, it can take up to 2 full weeks to see the maximum effect. The timeline may vary slightly depending on the treatment area (underarms, palms, or feet) and individual response.
