Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
At Aloha Med Spa, we provide advanced solutions for managing hyperhidrosis with our specialized Botox treatments. Utilizing the latest techniques and high-quality Botox formulations, our skilled practitioners target excessive sweating effectively and safely.
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating that goes beyond what is necessary for normal body temperature regulation. This excessive sweating can occur in specific areas of the body or be more generalized.
Botox for Hyperhidrosis typically provides relief from excessive sweating for about 4 to 6 months. Therefore, treatments are usually recommended every 4 to 6 months to maintain the effect.

Other side effects may include small lumps under the skin that are sometimes noticeable when pressing on the treated area. Larger lumps, some with delayed onset with or without inflammation or skin discoloration, have also been reported.
