Botox® for Excessive Sweating

Do you find yourself sweating through your shirt even when you're cold? Are sweat marks leaving you feel embarrassed?

Sweating is the way our body regulates our temperature. For some people, their sweat glands over produce sweat leaving us feeling wet and embarrassed. This can affect self-esteem and our quality of life. Luckily, there are easy treatments to reduce the sweat and regain confidence.

Botox® is one of the most effective treatments for Hyperhidrosis and sweat management. It is injected into the affected area to inhibit acetylcholine which is the neurotransmitter which activates your sweat glands. By blocking this transmission you will sweat less. On average, the treatment lasts 6 to 8 months with the range of 2 months to 2 years.

The common local area for treatment include:

• Axilla (underarms)
• Palms - hands
• Plantar - soles of the feet
• Forehead and scalp
• Groin

If you sweat all over your body and it is not local to one or two areas, see your family doctor for a physical and work up to identify a cause.
