Botox® for Sweating
What is it?Botox is more commonly know to smooth facial wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing muscles. Over the years, Botox has been approved to treat various neuromuscular medical conditions such as migraines, muscle spasms, and hyperhidrosis.
How does it work?
Botulinum Toxin A is a natural, purified protein with the ability to temporarily block the secretion of the chemical that signals the body’s sweat glands to activate. By interrupting this chemical messenger and paralyzing the nerves, botulinum toxin “turns off” sweat glands at the area where it has been injected.
Many clinical researches have proven that treating excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, of the armpits, hands, feet, head and face with botulinum toxin A is safe and effective.
