Botox for Hyperhidrosis
Botox is a highly effective treatment for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), particularly in the underarms. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals that activate sweat glands, significantly reducing perspiration.

The effects typically last several months, after which the treatment can be repeated for continued relief.
What are the side effects?
Common side effects may include pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.
The treatment
The treatment involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the skin in the targeted area
