Feet

How does botulinum toxin treat excessive foot sweating?
By temporarily blocking the nerves that trigger sweat glands. When placed into the feet, they reduce excessive sweating by reducing the release of the chemical messenger responsible, acetylcholine.

Effectiveness of Hyperhydrosis Treatment
Research shows botulinum toxins are highly effective in treating excessive sweating of the feet (plantar hyperhidrosis). Most patients experience a significant reduction in sweating, leading to improved comfort and quality of life.

The Treatment Process
A trained medical professional will place small amounts of product into targeted areas of your feet. The procedure is generally well-tolerated and causes minimal discomfort. Your doctor may use numbing cream or ice to minimise any discomfort. It is relatively fast, taking about 15 minutes on average.

Expected Results
You should notice a reduction in foot sweating within a few days to a week after treatment, with full results visible in two weeks. While individual results vary, most patients experience relief from excessive sweating for several months.

Aftercare and Downtime
There's minimal downtime after botulinum toxin injections. You may experience some temporary redness or swelling, but these side effects usually fade quickly.

Frequency of Treatments
Treatment frequency varies depending on your individual response. Most patients see good results with a single session, with effects lasting several months. Maintenance treatments will be required for continued results.

Cost of Treatment
The cost of botulinum toxin injections for excessive sweating of the feet typically ranges from $1000 to $1500 per session, dependent on the number of units administered.
