What is Botox for Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating that is not necessarily related to heat or exercise. This can occur in several areas of the body, most commonly in the underarms, palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and face. For those affected, this condition can be both uncomfortable and embarrassing, impacting their daily life and interactions.
Botox is an FDA-approved treatment for severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the underarms) and can also be used in other areas to block the chemical signals that stimulate the sweat glands, reducing sweat production.

- You suffer from excessive sweating that interferes with your daily activities.
- Other antiperspirant treatments have been ineffective.
You want a non-surgical solution to reduce sweating in areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, or face.
