Sweating is a normal process. Everybody sweats. It is a natural mechanism your body uses to cool itself. Sweating can also be a normal reaction to stress or nervousness. Hyperhidrosis is defined as abnormally excessive sweating that cannot be attributed to exercise or heat. For people struggling with hyperhidrosis, the condition can cause embarrassment and discomfort, affecting everyday activities, and it also increases the risk of recurring or chronic skin infections.

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.

A: If your condition is caused by a family genetic predisposition, then it is highly unlikely that you will outgrow hyperhidrosis. Fortunately, there are a number of treatment options that you can explore with your skin care specialist to help minimize your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
