Excessive Sweating Treatment (Botulinum Toxin)

Focal hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating of the underarms or palms beyond what temperature regulation requires — affects work, social confidence and clothing choices daily. When clinical-strength antiperspirants fail, intradermal botulinum toxin is the established next-line treatment.

How it works

Sweat glands are activated by the same neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) that botulinum toxin blocks at muscle endings. A grid of superficial micro-injections across the treated area switches off the local sweat glands while leaving the body's overall thermoregulation unaffected — the skin elsewhere compensates without noticeable change.
