Can BOTOX® help reduce excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)?
BOTOX® is now being used in the treatment and management of hyperhidrosis (the medical term for excessive sweating or perspiration). Hyperhidrosis affects millions of people and has a detrimental impact on their self-confidence and appearance as well as hindering and embarrassing them in many social encounters. Many people find that use of anti-perspirant alone is not enough to stop the sweating and odour and some even resort to absorbent pads under their arms to soak up excess perspiration.
