What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating, significantly surpassing the body’s normal requirements for cooling. It often affects the underarms, hands, feet, and face, creating challenging and sometimes embarrassing situations for those affected.
How Does Botox Help?
Botox, or Botulinum toxin, is a highly effective treatment for hyperhidrosis. It works by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When these nerves cannot signal the sweat glands, the severe sweating stops, this treatment provides months of relief, offering a significant reduction in sweating.
