Foot Sweating Botox explained
Foot sweating Botox treats plantar hyperhidrosis, which is sweating on the feet that is much heavier than needed. It can cause slipping in shoes, smell, blisters and skin infections. Toxin reduces sweating for months but is not permanent.
How Foot Sweating Botox works
The doctor injects small amounts of toxin just under the skin in a grid across the soles. The toxin blocks the nerve signal that switches on sweat glands. Because the soles are very sensitive, clinics use numbing cream, ice, vibration or nerve blocks to make it more comfortable. Results on the feet may fade sooner than on the underarms.
