Preparing for a Botox for Hyperhidrosis Treatment

August 8, 2023

Hyperhidrosis, also known as excessive sweating, is a condition that can cause great discomfort, impairing the quality of life for those who suffer from it. Fortunately, there are treatments available such as Botox for hyperhidrosis which can provide long-term relief when administered correctly. Before diving into this procedure, however, it's important to do some research and adequately prepare in order to ensure a successful treatment process.

Before undertaking a
Botox injection for hyperhidrosis treatment at That Master Nurse, it’s important to research the procedure itself so you understand what to expect. Find out what kind of side effects or risks come with Botox injections so you know how your body may respond before the treatment even begins. It’s also good to speak with friends or family who has undergone similar treatments in order to get an accurate picture of what the recovery period could look like.

It's essential that you discuss the exact areas requiring injections and determine an appropriate dosage with your doctor prior to beginning any treatments. This will ensure that they inject just enough botulinum toxin into each area—neither too little nor too much! Ask questions if something isn't clear; don't leave anything up in the air before you begin receiving injections.

In addition to researching and discussing details related to the procedure itself, preparing yourself physically and mentally is essential. Get plenty of restful sleep leading up to your appointment and try to eat nutritious meals packed with essential nutrients leading up until then as well—this will give your body energy during recovery afterward. Avoiding certain substances like alcohol can also help minimize potential bruising at the injection site(s). Emotionally prepare yourself by setting realistic expectations about how long it may take for symptoms related to hyperhidrosis to subside and allow some time beforehand in order to relax and reflect on how far you have come with dealing with these issues.

The Calgary Stampede is a city-wide celebration — and your skin is in the middle of it all. Between the heat, dust, cocktails, sweat, and full-glam makeup, your skin is working overtime. But it doesn’t have to suffer. Here’s your Stampede Skin Survival Guide from our clinical team at That Master Nurse — complete with products we recommend and treatments that actually work. Before You Go: Your skin needs protection before the party even starts. SPF is non-negotiable. Brush-on formulas are portable and easy to reapply. Vitamin C serum offers antioxidant support and helps prevent sun damage. Hale Derma mist keeps bacteria at bay and calms redness while you're out and about. Hydration matters. Water + electrolytes help prevent dehydration and inflammation. While You’re Out: A few small habits can make a big difference. Reapply sunscreen every 2–3 hours. Use Hale Derma to manage sweat and soothe skin irritation. Keep cleansing wipes handy to remove grime or makeup if needed. Alternate drinks with water to support your skin from the inside out. After the Rodeo: Your skin is tired — treat it with kindness. Double cleanse. First to remove SPF + makeup, then to cleanse your skin. Skip harsh actives. Instead, reach for hydration and barrier repair. Vitamin C and moisturizer help calm and reset the skin overnight. Once It’s All Over: Come back to clinic for recovery support. Vivier V-Stat Advanced Repair Gel is perfect for sunburns or irritation. Chemical peels are gentle but effective for clearing congestion and brightening skin. Our 365 Day Plan consultations help you go from reactive to proactive skincare — for results that last long after Stampede. Need a skin reset? We’ve got your glow covered.

Skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all. What works for your best friend, your favourite influencer, or your past self might not work for your skin right now. Here’s the truth: Most people put in the effort. What they’re missing is a long-term plan tailored to their skin's unique needs. Without the right treatment order, timing, or clinical insight, even the best products and treatments can fall short.
