1. Botulinum toxin (Botox) works by blocking the signals from the nerves that activate sweat glands.
2. When Botox is injected into the affected area, it prevents the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that triggers sweat production.
3. As a result, sweat production is significantly reduced, offering relief to people suffering from hyperhidrosis.

• Underarms: Botox is FDA-approved for use in the underarms to reduce excessive sweating.
• Hands and Feet: Botox can also be used on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet for people who experience excessive sweating in these areas.
• Face: Botox can be used for facial sweating, such as excessive sweating on the forehead or around the nose and upper lip.

• The results typically last between 4 to 6 months, after which the treatment needs to be repeated.
• Most patients notice a significant reduction in sweating within a few days after the procedure, with the maximum effect seen in about 2 weeks.

• The treatment involves multiple small injections into the skin of the targeted area.
• The procedure is generally quick, often taking about 20-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
• Local anesthesia or numbing cream may be used to minimize discomfort.

While Botox for sweating is generally safe, there can be side effects, including:

• Pain or discomfort at the injection site.
• Temporary weakness or muscle drooping near the treated area (rare).
• Mild bruising at the injection site.

• Botox is a non-surgical treatment, which makes it minimally invasive.
• It provides significant relief from excessive sweating, improving quality of life.

If you suffer from hyperhidrosis and are considering Botox as a treatment option, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider experienced in the procedure to ensure it's suitable for your condition."
