WHAT ARE THE REASONS THAT LEAD YOU TO CONSULT OUR SPECIALISTS AT THE CLINIQUE DE LA CROIX D'OR?

Excessive sweating disrupts my daily comfort
Sweating too much causes me emotional distress
Excessive sweating makes me not feel good socially
Sometimes I suddenly start sweating more than usual.
I sometimes or often have night sweats for no apparent reason.

If you identify with at least one of the points mentioned above, then you are among the 10% of the adult population who suffer from abnormally excessive sweating. Hyperhidrosis is a condition that is difficult to control, since the symptoms are not necessarily related to heat or exercise. Sweat seeps into clothing and flows in a completely abnormal excess, which also causes unpleasant odors. We may have tried all the remedies: deodorants, alum stone, aluminum salts, nothing works! Fortunately, today there is a simple and lasting way to combat excessive sweating: botulinum toxin injections. Your Clinique de la Croix d'Or</en/a> is pleased to support you in your treatment of your sweating problems through cosmetic surgery.</en/p>

PRESENTATION

Sweating is your body's natural mechanism for cooling down. Your nervous system automatically triggers your sweat (perspirant) glands when your body temperature rises.

In the case of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), the nerves responsible for signaling your sweat glands are overactive. As a result, your sweat glands misinterpret your heat regulation needs, causing excess sweating when your body doesn't actually need it.

To combat this problem, which is most often hereditary, due to menopause, excess weight or certain other diseases, botulinum toxin injection is the simplest and most suitable operation. Botulinum toxin injection allows a very significant limitation of perspiration in the injected areas. Given the cholinergic nerve control, this technique has the advantage of not presenting any particular drawbacks.

TREATED AREAS

The vast majority of areas treated for hyperhidrosis involve the armpits (axillary region).

PROGRESS

BEFORE THE INTERVENTION

During your very first consultation, we will provide you with a quote and an optimal treatment plan to address your concerns. Your cosmetic surgeon will begin by performing a thorough examination to provide a comprehensive diagnosis of your needs. Your doctor's primary mission is to identify the areas of your body that require treatment with botulinum toxin injections. Once all the areas to be treated have been identified, the procedure can begin.

THE DAY OF THE INTERVENTION

First, your cosmetic doctor will make sure that you do not have any contraindications . Once the practitioner has carried out his checks, he will ensure that the treatment surface is perfectly cleaned and that it is rigorously sterilized to prepare you for the procedure. Now that you are ready, your surgeon will perform small injections on the targeted areas of your body affected by excessive sweating. The session is almost painless and only lasts 15 to 30 minutes depending on the number of areas treated. And that's it, it's over! At the end of the session, you will not have any significant changes. The result of the injection is obtained within 4 to 7 days. Sport is possible after respecting a minimum period of 48 hours. We systematically review injected patients within 15 days to evaluate the result and make any adjustments. The effect obtained has an effective duration of 4 to 6 months.

SIDE EFFECTS

In general, the botulinum toxin injection session for the treatment of excessive sweating is almost painless. The after-effects are relatively simple and easily corrected: small bruises at the injection site may appear, but are spontaneously resolved.
