What is?
Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is a common condition that affects millions of people around the world. It can cause embarrassment to sufferers and reduce their life quality. Botulinum toxin injections can greatly improve hyperhydrosis symptoms by inactivating sweat glands and preventing them to produce moisture.
Effect
Botulinum toxin is a natural, purified protein that temporarily blocks the release of a chemical that signals perspiration, helping to reduce excessive sweating.
Procedure
This is a non-surgical procedure where small amounts of toxin are administered into the skin of the armpits using a very fine needle. Normal activity can be resumed soon after. After the injection, it takes about 7-14 days for the treatment to show full effect.
