BOTOX® HYPERHIDROSIS

Reclaim Confidence with Botox Hyperhidrosis in Reston VA

If you are struggling with excessive sweating that disrupts your day-to-day life, you are not alone. At WellMedica in Reston VA, we offer an advanced and highly effective treatment for this condition: Botox Hyperhidrosis therapy. This FDA-approved solution provides relief for those experiencing uncontrollable sweating, especially when over-the-counter treatments have failed.

Dr. Dima, a nationally recognized expert in cosmetic and anti-aging medicine, provides this specialized treatment with precision and care, helping patients regain control, confidence, and comfort.

What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. This can significantly impact your quality of life—causing embarrassment, discomfort, and even social isolation. It typically affects:

• Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)

• Palms of the hands

• Soles of the feet

• Face

• Back and buttocks

While some people may sweat more during hot weather or exercise, those with hyperhidrosis experience excessive sweating regardless of these conditions.

Why Choose Botox for Hyperhidrosis?

When traditional solutions like prescription antiperspirants and topical agents do not provide relief, Botox® Hyperhidrosis treatment becomes an effective next step. Botox® (Botulinum Toxin Type A) works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat production.

At WellMedica, Dr. Dima offers this breakthrough treatment for those who are tired of hiding sweat stains or avoiding social events. The procedure is quick, safe, minimally invasive, and has been life-changing for many patients in Reston VA and the surrounding areas.

How Botox Treats Hyperhidrosis

Botox works by:

1. Blocking the chemical signals: Sweat glands are activated by nerve signals. Botox temporarily stops these signals from reaching the glands.

2. Targeted treatment: It’s injected into specific areas—like the underarms, palms, or feet—where excessive sweating occurs.

3. Immediate relief: Most patients begin to see noticeable improvements within 4–5 days after treatment, with full results in about two weeks.

While Botox® for hyperhidrosis is FDA-approved for underarm sweating, it’s often used “off-label” in other areas such as:

• Palms

• Soles

• Scalp

• Facial areas

• Inframammary (under the breasts)

• Groin and buttocks
