Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating. This condition can affect various parts of the body, such as the palms, soles of the feet, underarms, and face.
- Botox: When injected into the skin, Botox works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that stimulates sweat glands. Botox temporarily paralyzes the sweat glands in the treated area, reducing excessive sweating. This effect typically lasts for 3-4 months before the body naturally metabolizes the Botox and sweating may gradually return to normal levels.
