Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is a disorder that makes you sweat more than you need to.  In primary hyperhidrosis, the cause is unknown and can affect specific areas, such as armpits, hands, feet and/or face.  Other factors such as diabetes, menopause, nerve damage and some medications can also cause excessive sweating, called secondary hyperhidrosis.  The doctor will need to do a full exam to arrive at a diagnosis.

BOTOX® treatment of hyperhidrosis is simple.  A small amount of BOTOX® is injected intradermally to the affected area using a very fine needle.  You should notice a significant reduction of sweating in the treated areas within a week of treatment.  Results could last up to 6 months.
