This can be very embarrassing for those who are affected and can damage their confidence. In some cases, it can aggravate skin conditions and make life uncomfortable.

The solution for hyperhidrosis is using botulinum toxin (Botox) which is injected in a small dose just under the skin. This blocks the nerves which supply the sweat glands which prevents the glands from producing sweat. The results last for longer than the anti-wrinkle treatment for Botox, lasting for 5 to 6 months.
Although this is not a permanent solution, it makes the condition easily manageable for patients making their lives much more comfortable.
