Treatment of excessive feet sweating
Sweating is a natural physiological mechanism of the human body, with the function of thermoregulation, or keeping the body in thermal equilibrium. Unfortunately, a large group of people experience excessive sweating, where sweat is produced by sweat glands in such volumes that cause a high level of discomfort and difficulty in everyday functioning. Typically, excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, affects such body areas as underarms, forehead, hands and feet. The latter can be a particular nuisance because moist feet can produce unpleasant odors and foster the development of fungal infections. If the problem is ignored, it may cause lesions, painful chafing or corns. For these reasons, it is extremely important that excessive feet sweating is treated accordingly.
There is some good news for those affected by this problem. In many cases, you can get rid of this unpleasant condition by undergoing botox treatment. This treatment is recommended for everyone who may experience everyday problems caused by excessive sweating of the feet. A doctor’s advice is provided before the treatment, to eliminate any contraindications. A Minor’s test is carried out to determine the areas with the most dense groupings of sweat glands producing excessive amounts of sweat. In this test, iodine is first applied on the skin and then covered with starch. The color of the mixture in specific areas becomes darker, letting the physician know where to apply botox.
The main advantage offered by botox as treatment of excessive feet sweating is the actual elimination of the consequences of this embarrassing condition. When sweat production is blocked, unpleasant odor or moist footwear is no longer an issue. This makes a lot of people feel better and more self-confident. The results demonstrate almost immediately and remain for 6 to 12 months; in this way, you can get rid of the persistent hyperhidrosis of the feet for a long time.
Topical anesthetics and ice will be used as protection during the treatment, sometimes together with a local stopper.
