How does BOTOX work for excessive perspiration?
This also works by blocking the chemical acetylcholine, in the sweat glands, reducing and sometimes eliminating sweating in the affected area. For the palms, 3 injections at the wrist (’wrist block’) eliminate sensation temporarily in the hand providing more comfort during the procedure. A series of tiny injections into the skin of the affected area complete the procedure. BOTOX for hyperhidrosis (excessive perspiration) usually lasts between 8-12 months, after which time treatment can be repeated.
