Sweating is a natural way of the human body to avoid overheating, it performs a thermoregulatory function. Increased sweating during high temperature, stress or sports is also a normal reaction, but some sweat more profusely not only in these conditions, but also in a state of rest. In this case, hyperhidrosis, or increased sweating, may be diagnosed. Treatment of sweating with botulinum injections is one of the most effective treatments. Botulinum stops the functioning of the nerve cell endings that act on the eccrine (sweat) glands, thus stopping sweating.

Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin synthesized by anaerobic bacteria (Clostridium botulinum), which disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses. Botulinum suppresses the nerve impulses transmitted to the sweat gland, so the sweat glands stop functioning and do not produce sweat. After the botulinum effect ends, the activity of the sweat glands is fully restored. Clinical studies have proven that the treatment of excessive sweating of the armpits, palms, and feet with botulinum toxin is effective and efficient. Botulinum injection reduces underarm sweating by 82-87%. You will notice the first results 2-4 days after the treatment.
