Botox for Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is a chronic medical disorder that results in excessive sweat production.

Common areas where patients seek treatment are the palms of the hands, underarms, and the soles of the feet. Research shows that this condition affects almost 8 million people. One out of three research participants said that their sweating was intolerable or barely tolerable.

Many also said it was a contributing cause of depression and frustration with daily activities as the condition interfered with their career and romantic affairs. Botox® is indicated to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) of the underarms, palms and feet.

Be sure to ask about this treatment. Treatment results last 6 months on average.

What treatment options help excessive sweating?

Drysol is a solution of 20% Aluminum Chloride in anhydrous ethyl alcohol. Drysol is a prescription only medication, which is moderately effective in treating palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis. However it may cause severe skin irritation. Initial success rates are good but long-term results are less satisfactory.
