How Does BOTOX® Stop Sweating?
BOTOX® is a cosmetic and medical treatment prepared from the botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. BOTOX® works by blocking chemical signals that tell the sweat glands to activate, reducing the production of sweat in the treatment area.
