Microbotulinum injection
For those suffering from excessive sweating and sweat stains
About microbotulinum injections
Botulinum toxin is a protein component produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria.
Sweating occurs when the sympathetic nervous system secretes a neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) that stimulates sweating, which then sends a signal to the eccrine glands.
Botulinum toxin works by suppressing the secretion of acetylcholine.
The signal is temporarily blocked, and the amount of sweat secreted decreases significantly.
The effects last for about six months, but the way the effects manifest varies from person to person and also depends on the amount injected.
Features
No scalpel
Because the treatment can be performed with injections only, there is no need for surgery, and it leaves no scars on the body.
There is virtually no downtime.
You can resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure.
Odor reduction
The cause of the odor is bacteria that feed on sweat and dirt on the skin and break them down.
Odor-causing substances are released, causing an unpleasant smell.
Reducing the amount of sweat makes it harder for bacteria to multiply on the skin, thus suppressing body odor.
