How Botox® Treats Excessive Sweating
Sweating is triggered by nerve signals that activate sweat glands. Botox® works by temporarily blocking these signals, preventing the glands from producing excessive sweat.
Botox® for hyperhidrosis:
- Targets sweat-producing nerves
- Reduces sweat output at the source
- Does not affect sensation or muscle function
- Allows the body to sweat normally elsewhere
This treatment is FDA-approved for underarm hyperhidrosis and widely used off-label for other areas.
