Botox® Hyperhydrosis

What is Hyperhydrosis?

Hyperhydrosis is excessive sweating. Sweating is the body's mechanism for losing heat. However, in patients with Hyperhydrosis, the sweating experienced is greater than required to reduce body temperature. Often this can be an embarassing condition.

How can Botox® Help?

Botox® is FDA approved for and is recommended for the treatment of Hyperhydrosis. Botox® (Botulinum Toxin Type A) works to reduce the activity of the eccrine glands that produce sweat. Treatment of Hyperhydrosis with Botox® lasts an average of 7 months before wearing off. A clinical trial showed that the average reduction in sweat production one week after treatment was 87%, and sweating was reduced by at least 50% in 95% of patients.
