What is Hyperhydrosis and how can you treat it?
Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating from any part of the body.
It can cause immense distress in social interaction, affect daily life and cause embarrassment. If there is no obvious cause it is thought that hyperhidrosis is the result of a problem with the sympathetic nervous system and the signals to the glands on the skin.
Triggers that can stimulate excessive sweating include exercise, alcohol, caffeine, smoking, spicy food and stress.
Botox® is FDA-approved for temporarily controlling hyperhidrosis. It is injected into sweat glands to block the nerves that cause sweating. This safe procedure is proven to give dramatic and life-changing results for many who suffer from this condition.
