Excessive Sweating Treatment

Excessive Sweating Treatment

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is caused by overactive sweat glands that produce more sweat than necessary to regulate body temperature. This condition can be caused by genetics, medical conditions, medications, or emotional triggers.
This procedure is also known as hyperhidrosis treatment. When severe sweating gets in the way of daily activities and antiperspirants are not working, you may be a suitable candidate for the Botulinum toxin treatment. The body areas that can be effected include: the underarms, palms, feet and forehead.

Treatment

Botulinum toxin is injected into the affected areas to help control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands do not receive chemical signals, the severe sweating settles.

Botulinum toxin is approved by the FDA to treat the symptoms of severe underarm sweating when topical medicines do not work well enough. It is quick, painless, extremely effective and can last between 6-8 months.
