Botox for excessive
sweating
Excessive sweating is known medically as Hyperhydrosis. It’s a common condition that affects both men and women. Hyperhydrosis is not a temporary condition and can cause people a great deal of embarrassment, but the good news is that it can be treated with Botulinum toxin injections. Although Botulinum Toxin is thought of as a cosmetic treatment for wrinkles, it is a muscle relaxant. It has been used in the UK for years to treat intensive sweating as well as other medical conditions.
