The problem of increased sweating, or hyperhidrosis, today worries many people of different ages and professions. Constant stress and a busy lifestyle, synthetic clothing exacerbate this problem. Often the inability to wear the desired clothes, discomfort when noticeable circles appear in the armpits, an unpleasant odor, the inability to take off shoes or shake hands - all this affects communication, and in public professions it can even hinder career growth and reduce the quality of life.
Increased sweating is an important problem in medicine, including aesthetics. In addition, hyperhidrosis of the feet is often accompanied by mycoses - fungal infections of the skin, which requires serious long-term treatment.
With the onset of the summer season, this problem becomes more pressing, because vacation and travel are ahead!
Causes of hyperhidrosis
Severe sweating occurs due to several reasons:
- heredity;
- poor nutrition;
- being overweight;
- frequent stress;
- neurological disorders;
- infectious diseases;
- changes in hormonal levels;
- disruption of the endocrine system;
- taking a certain group of medications;
- oncology;
- traumatic brain injury;
- alcohol and drug addiction.
A one-time increase in sweating can be caused by an increase in temperature or intense physical activity.
Treatment of excessive sweating
Treatment of the cause of increased sweating should be carried out jointly with an endocrinologist and therapist. However, the long period and difficulty of treating this disease only burdens a person’s adaptation in modern society. The use of Botox for hyperhidrosis is not contraindicated in these conditions and is the method of choice.
The most common home control methods are deodorants and antiperspirants. However, stained clothing, frequent allergic reactions and short-term effects limit their use.
Symptoms of hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis can be recognized by the following symptoms:
- increased sweat production;
- the presence of an unpleasant odor of sweat;
- swelling of the face;
- cardiopalmus;
- weakness;
- headache;
- drowsiness.
To determine the degree of hyperhidrosis and areas of increased sweating, the Minor test is performed. To do this, a 2% iodine solution is applied to the skin, dried and sprinkled with starch. With increased sweat production, the skin turns purple.
Minor's test (iodine-starch test)
This is a simple method for diagnosing hyperhidrosis, which allows you to identify areas of greatest sweating before injecting botulinum toxins. The Minor test is most relevant for correcting the results and partially maintaining sweating 10-14 days after the procedure, when an increase in dose is required to completely stop sweating and determine the most resistant zones. During initial injections, the appropriateness of this test is determined at the discretion of the doctor.
The Minor test is carried out in several stages:
1. Apply iodine solution to the intended treatment area.
2. Using cotton pads or sticks, apply starch to a dry surface treated with iodine.
3. After 3-5 minutes, in the areas of greatest sweating, the starch turns blue, which makes it possible to determine the zones of botulinum toxin injection.

What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is the name given to increased sweating, which manifests itself in areas such as the feet, palms, and armpits. The reason for the release of excess moisture is functional disorders of a number of systems in the body: endocrine, nervous, etc. Problems for a person suffering from hyperhidrosis include a feeling of discomfort, a strong odor, and damaged clothing. In addition, due to this disorder, many have problems communicating with others.
Types of hyperhidrosis
There are 2 types of hyperhidrosis: general and localized. The first is noted in cases where a person is exposed to high temperatures or experiences significant physical or emotional stress.
Localized hyperhidrosis includes hyperhidrosis of the palms, armpits, feet and occurs in places where large skin folds form. If the rules of personal hygiene are not observed, this type of functional disorders of the body systems receives an unpleasant “addition” in the form of an unpleasant odor in the area of the feet and armpits. The reason for this is the intensive proliferation of bacteria, for the life of which a favorable environment is created.
Causes of hyperhidrosis
The appearance of hyperhidrosis can be a consequence of both external and internal factors. Increased sweating often indicates the presence of tuberculosis, vegetative-vascular dystonia, and functional disorders of the nervous system. External factors include the habit of wearing clothes and shoes made of synthetic materials, as well as refusal to observe personal hygiene rules.
Treatment of hyperhidrosis
One of the most effective and popular ways to stop hyperhidrosis is treatment with injections of a drug such as Botox. This procedure makes it possible to forget about excessive sweating for a long time. However, it is worth remembering that an integrated approach to solving the issue is necessary. Without eliminating the causes of hyperhidrosis, it is impossible to count on a lasting positive effect. Neglect of this rule leads to negative reviews from people trying to get rid of excessive sweating in various ways. In other cases, the use of Botox provides the desired relief from sweating in various parts of the body.
Benefits of Botox in the treatment of hyperhidrosis
This drug is highly effective and completely safe for humans, which has been proven both by extensive experience in its practical use and in tests conducted in clinical settings. The method demonstrates the best results when getting rid of such types of diseases as hyperhidrosis of the armpits, feet and palms. Injections of the drug block nerve impulses, preventing them from reaching the sweat glands. Thus, excess moisture release stops. The method of using Botox is deservedly popular among everyone who is concerned about getting rid of sweating feet or hands.
The result of treatment.
The effect of the drug begins 3-5 days after injection and reaches its maximum on the 14th day. Patients note the normalization of secretion and the absence of excessive sweating. The positive effect lasts for 3-6 months. If you need relief from sweating for a long period of time, you can repeat the course of injections.
When planning to use this method, you should keep in mind that it has a number of contraindications, for example:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- oncological diseases;
- inflammation in the areas where the drug is administered;
- blood clotting disorder;
- individual intolerance.
Description of the procedure
- {myphotogalery id=178}
At the request of the patient, local anesthesia can be performed by applying cream to the injection sites.
In the presence of the patient, Botox is drawn into a syringe from a sterile bottle, after which it is injected into the feet, palms and armpits.
The drug is a natural purified protein that is used intramuscularly in microdoses.
Now getting rid of sweating does not require a lot of time and effort - a single injection of the drug is enough to forget about wet palms or armpits for a long time.
Botox injections are a really quick way to get rid of sweating feet, hands and armpits.
How is the procedure performed?
Treatment of hyperhidrosis is carried out according to the following protocol, without hospitalization in the clinic:
- initial consultation with a dermatocosmetologist;
- choice of drug and dose for botulinum therapy;
- make-up remover and antiseptic skin treatment;
- applying local cream anesthesia to the treated area of skin;
- injection administration of the drug;
- repeated bactericidal treatment.
The total duration of the manipulation does not exceed 20-30 minutes.
Fine for working without a license
If a license is needed, but the salon operates without it, the owner will be fined under Part 2 of Article 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The fines are:
For individuals | For individual entrepreneurs | For LLC |
From 2,000 to 2,500 ₽ | From 4,000 to 5,000 ₽ | From 40,000 to 50,000 ₽ |
Small businesses can get by with a warning if they are caught for the first time. But the issue of further provision of services will still have to be resolved. If you continue to work without a license, you will be closed.
Beauty salons are inspected by the prosecutor's office and the police. Usually, an inspection comes as a result of a complaint from a client who, for example, was not given a check. Or competitors: the association of laser cosmetologists filed a police report against one salon. Inspectors look at the price list, advertising on social networks, contracts with clients and interview craftsmen. If you have cosmetic equipment, they will take it as evidence. The arbitration court puts an end to the matter.
How to get rid of sweaty hands?
How to remove and reduce sweaty hands? Today there are a lot of cosmetological techniques that allow you to do this. It is important to understand that they have a certain duration of effect, which means that the result of minimally invasive procedures will need to be maintained periodically (approximately once every 8-12 months).
In the treatment of sweaty hands, the use of medical antiperspirants is possible, but extremely difficult and inconvenient. In addition, moisture constantly appearing on the palms washes away the active composition of the antiperspirant and its use becomes ineffective. Talc and antiperspirants can protect skin, clothing, and create the illusion of freshness, but they do not affect sweating in any way.
The use of electrophoresis (iontophoresis) can help maintain some dryness of the palms, but the procedures must be carried out regularly over a long period of time.
One of the effective and popular remedies for palmar hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the hands) is botulinum therapy or Botox injections.
The effects of Botox on sweat in the armpits
How harmful is Botox in the armpits? On the Internet there is almost no truth about the consequences of botulinum toxin injections in this area. The first few dozen pages of search results insist that Botox is absolutely safe, clinically tested, and the like. All these sources are commercially interested in promoting botulinum toxin injections or simply thoughtlessly rewrote biased information on a pressing topic in order to appear in the TOP.
It’s better to ask neurologists what they think about the safety of Botox injections! Neurotoxins are a topic in which they are certainly more competent, because this poison affects nervous activity. And the truth about Botox is very different from its false image.
Neurologists are afraid of botulinum toxin.
Firstly, medicine is simply not yet aware of all the consequences of Botox: science has not studied the effect of this poison on the body in the long term.
Secondly, it has been proven that botulinum toxin spreads beyond the treated area, and not only to neighboring areas, but also circulates throughout the body.
The patient may feel unwell immediately after the Botox injection: headaches, fever, vomiting, dizziness. But this is just the beginning.
Some develop respiratory syndrome: high fever, stuffy nose, sore throat. The respiratory system suffers: shortness of breath, rapid breathing, bluish skin. The functioning of the cranial nerves and nerve centers of the heart may be disrupted, osteoporosis of the skull and dysfunction of skeletal muscles may develop. If botulinum toxin gets into the artery that supplies oxygen to the brain, it can lead to a stroke.
In some people, Botox causes allergies, anaphylactic shock, and Quincke's edema.
There is information that women who injected Botox into their armpits developed mastopathy of the mammary glands.
And so on. Etc. And all these consequences are described in the literature! How can you assure a blue eye that Botox is safe? Consider whether you should trust such sources.
And the armpits are also distinguished by the fact that they are injected with a lethal dose of Botox - the largest in comparison with all other areas: 100 units. For comparison, 10-30 units are spent on the forehead, and the same amount on the “crow’s feet” near both eyes. And if the cosmetologist also offers to come in to correct the results of Botox in the armpits, you will receive 200 units of the toxic drug in half a month.
A license is required for medical services
The state ensures that services do not harm people’s health. If the safety and quality of the procedure depend on the education of the master, the premises according to sanitary regulations and special equipment, entrepreneurs must obtain a license.
The types of activities that require a license are specified in Article 12 of the Licensing Law. Among them is medicine.
Medical services include cosmetology, medical massage, dietetics and dental hygiene. The main feature of a medical service is intervention in the human body. That is, when a master pricks, cuts, presses or prescribes drugs, this is medicine. The salon must have a medical license for this. The Ministry of Health has a list of medical interventions - if you need to sort out a salon service, they look at it.
In fact, here are the services that will be considered medical and will require a license:
