Excessive Underarm Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Excessive underarm sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a medical condition where your body produces more sweat than needed to regulate temperature. This can occur even in cool environments and without physical activity. Patients often change clothes frequently, use absorbent pads, or try multiple antiperspirants without relief. Stress can worsen symptoms, and the condition often leads to anxiety and self-consciousness.
Treatment Options
BOTOX® is FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating that does not respond to topical treatments. It works by temporarily blocking the nerves that stimulate sweat glands.
