Botox treatment in N.Brabant, Netherlands

1. Botox® Oksel Dry is the solution for men and women who suffer from excessive perspiration. By means of a few injections of Botox in the armpit, sweat production is normalized. This not only provides more self-confidence, but also a considerable saving on clothing. What is hyperhidrosis? Sweating is a natural and useful process: it helps the body to maintain the right temperature. Some people sweat a lot more, even when it is not warm. They constantly have wet palms, soles of feet or armpits. This excessive sweat production is also called hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis can have a major impact on daily life. Damp hands can hinder someone in social contacts and can also be a nuisance during certain activities. People with excessive sweat production under the armpits often have to change their shirt or dress shirt several times a day and often feel insecure because of those visible wet spots. It is estimated that 500,000 people in the Netherlands suffer from hyperhidrosis. Heredity often plays a role: in 30-50% of cases the condition occurs in the family. What is Botox® Oksel-Dry? Botox® Oksel-Dry is a treatment in which Botox is used to slow down sweat production. The active substance in Botox is Botulinum Toxin. In medicine, this agent has been used since 1973 for neurological disorders. Botox blocks the transmission of stimuli from the nerve to the sweat glands. As a result, sweat production decreases. The effect lasts for approximately six to twelve months. When you notice that sweat production has started again, you can be treated again. Who is it suitable for? Botox® Oksel-Dry is suitable for women and men who sweat excessively under their armpits. The palms of the hands and the soles of the feet can also be treated. After the treatment, sweating stops for the most part, but not completely. After all, that would not be good for the body. Botox® Oksel-Dry is not suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. The Botox treatment is injected under the skin with a thin needle. Usually about ten to fifteen injections per side are needed. Most people do not find this painful. If necessary, the doctor can apply a numbing cream. To see exactly where to inject, the doctor can perform a sweat test. In this test, an iodine solution is first applied to the skin and then starch. In places where sweat production is high, the starch turns dark. These are the places where the injections are given. However, such a test is usually not necessary; the doctor can often see with the naked eye where the sweat drops are formed.

2. Effect The Botox starts working a few days after the treatment. The effect on the sweat glands is at its maximum after two weeks. This is the time to assess the result of the treatment. During a possible check-up consultation, you can assess together with your doctor whether it is necessary to carry out a corrective treatment. Botox® Oksel-Dry works on average six to twelve months. During this period, sweat production is clearly reduced. You will notice that you no longer have wet spots on your shirt and that you can shake hands without any problems. To maintain the result, the treatment can be repeated after six to twelve months. We often treat before the summer: one treatment is then sufficient to stay armpit-fresh for a year. info@declinique.nl The Clinic Verwersstraat 45 5211 HT 's-Hertogenbosch 073 610 4828 https://declinique.nl/
