[00:00:01] well sweating is a normal process

[00:00:04] preventing the body from overheating

[00:00:06] excessive sweating though or

[00:00:08] hyperhidrosis it's an embarrassing

[00:00:10] medical medical condition that could

[00:00:12] interfere with everyday activities like

[00:00:14] work and social life however many may

[00:00:16] not know that it is treatable here to

[00:00:18] tell us about a treatment is Carmen

[00:00:20] Reyes she's a physician assistant from

[00:00:22] affiliated dermatology and along with

[00:00:23] her is Caitlin who recently received the

[00:00:27] treatment thank you for both of you for

[00:00:29] being here so Carmen I want to start

[00:00:31] start with you what exactly is

[00:00:33] hyperhidrosis hyperhidrosis is a medical

[00:00:36] condition that causes the excessive

[00:00:38] sweating is typically localized to one

[00:00:40] or two areas of the body the most common

[00:00:42] area is the underarms but it can also

[00:00:44] affect the hands and the feet as well

[00:00:46] and you said it's like when you when we

[00:00:49] say excessive sweating we're talking

[00:00:50] like dripping right yes dripping from

[00:00:53] the areas Wow Wow what is the difference

[00:00:55] between sweating and having

[00:00:58] hyperhidrosis sweating is a normal

[00:01:01] process it prevents our bodies from

[00:01:02] overheating typically when it is warm

[00:01:05] outside when we're nervous when we're

[00:01:07] exercising hyperhidrosis is an increase

[00:01:09] in the amount of sweat and happens for

[00:01:11] no apparent reason

[00:01:12] Wow Wow now Caitlin you have this

[00:01:15] problem originally and you were telling

[00:01:18] me that it's very embarrassing what was

[00:01:20] going on what was your body doing so

[00:01:22] just normal day-to-day activity I would

[00:01:24] sweat for no apparent reason and you

[00:01:28] know I work with a lot of people and I

[00:01:29] reach over them all the time so anytime

[00:01:32] that that would be occurring you know

[00:01:33] it's extremely embarrassing yes I can

[00:01:36] only imagine and plus not to mention

[00:01:39] your clothes right it would have did it

[00:01:42] ruin your clothes yeah I probably could

[00:01:44] wear an outfit maybe one to two times

[00:01:45] and then I'd have to go shopping again

[00:01:47] okay can get expensive right yeah all

[00:01:51] right so so Caitlin went in for the

[00:01:53] treatment so explain what the treatment

[00:01:56] process is exactly Carmen absolutely

[00:01:59] Botox is used for treating hyperhidrosis

[00:02:02] okay and a tiny amount of Botox is

[00:02:05] injected under the skin under the on on

[00:02:07] the underarms okay

[00:02:09] did it hurt Caitlin it's a very very

[00:02:12] painless

[00:02:13] Wow new socks wasn't expecting you to go

[00:02:16] there alright so like Botox with you

[00:02:19] know normally we're used to hearing that

[00:02:20] you know where we get it in our faces

[00:02:22] how long do these treatments last is a

[00:02:24] typical like a Botox injection this

[00:02:27] treatment lasts six months or longer so

[00:02:30] it's typically a little longer than what

[00:02:31] you would see for cosmetic purposes okay

[00:02:33] so what happened Caitlin after you got

[00:02:36] the injection how long before you saw

[00:02:38] results in and tell me how you felt

[00:02:40] afterwards your confidence level so it

[00:02:42] took maybe four days I got the treatment

[00:02:46] on a Monday and then I noticed by Friday

[00:02:48] that I hadn't been sweating anymore yeah

[00:02:51] Wow so that must have been just so

[00:02:55] wonderful a feeling for you yeah

[00:02:57] absolutely

[00:02:59] does it I'm sure it gives you a little

[00:03:00] bit more confidence - yes yes a lot more

[00:03:03] and they can buy clothes and not have to

[00:03:05] go shopping again well that's good news

[00:03:09] as well who is really a good candidate I

[00:03:11] mean how do you know I guess you know

[00:03:13] all right

[00:03:14] anybody who has this condition really

[00:03:16] knows it's interfering with everyday

[00:03:18] activities if it happens on your hands

[00:03:21] or your feet it becomes difficult even

[00:03:23] shake hands with people and if you tried

[00:03:26] antiperspirant or prescription

[00:03:28] medications and they don't seem to be

[00:03:29] effective you may be the right candidate

[00:03:31] for Botox okay and how do you find out

[00:03:33] when somebody comes in you do in a

[00:03:35] consultation a series of questions you

[00:03:37] know be able to know absolutely I take

[00:03:39] him that detailed medical history okay

[00:03:41] my patients and then we will go on and

[00:03:43] talk about a treatment plan all right

[00:03:45] and the treatment is fairly quick I'm

[00:03:47] assuming it's just the series of

[00:03:49] injections and you're good it doesn't

[00:03:51] take very long and results are quick and

[00:03:53] they're dramatic yeah yeah life-changing
