HYPERHIDROSIS

Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating, unrelated to temperature or exercise. It can occur at anytime and anywhere, and sweat will usually accumulate so much that it will soak through your clothing. Botox® is an FDA-approved treatment for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) to keep you dry and in control!

HOW IT WORKS

Botox® injections are used to control hyperhidrosis. When Botox® is injected into the area of concern, it stops overactive sweat glands and blocks the nerve signals responsible for sweating. Areas of concern include but are not limited to underarms, hands, feet, groin, and forehead.

One of our board-certified providers will apply numbing cream to the treatment areas up to one hour before the treatment. Then, the area is cleaned, and several injections are administered using tiny needles. The procedure is quick, and you only need one office visit.

There are few side effects, but some patients report swelling, tenderness, and bruising immediately after the treatment.

HYPERHIDROSIS CAUSES

The causes of hyperhidrosis vary. You may have a genetic predisposition from primary to secondary hyperhidrosis from an underlying health condition like hyperthyroidism, obesity, or Parkinson’s disease. You can’t prevent hyperhidrosis, but you can treat it!
