Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating. This condition happens when you sweat more than what your body needs to regulate your temperature. You may experience sweating when you’re at rest, in cold temperatures or randomly at times when you wouldn’t expect to sweat. Hyperhidrosis Botox, also known as Botox for hyperhidrosis, refers to the use of botulinum toxin injections to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by abnormally high levels of sweating that can occur in various parts of the body, such as the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis), palms of the hands (palmar hyperhidrosis), or soles of the feet (plantar hyperhidrosis). Botox injections for hyperhidrosis work by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that stimulates sweat glands. By inhibiting the activity of these glands, Botox helps reduce excessive sweating in the targeted area. This can provide relief for individuals who experience significant discomfort, embarrassment, or interference with daily activities due to their hyperhidrosis.The treatment involves multiple small injections of Botox into the affected area, such as the underarms or palms. The effects of Hyperhidrosis Botox usually become noticeable within a few days to a week after treatment and can last for several months before gradually wearing off.
