Sweating is a normal human reaction to any kind of tempature change, stress, or physical activity.

 

When your body is hot/overheated, your nervous system triggers your sweat glands to produce fluid to cool down the body. This is a normal response.

 

However, your nerves can become overactive and trigger the sweat glands to produce liquid without having any contributing factors (heat,tempature,stress, physical activity).

 

This condition is called hyperhidrosis, it affects the armpits, palms and the soles of feet.

 

Botulinum toxin injections, can provide significant relief from symptoms. ⁠This works best for those who have primary focal hyperhidrosis (sweating in localized, specific areas). ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The type of sweat glands that allow the body to sweat are called eccrine gland and they are numerous. Sweat glands cover the entire body.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
People with primary focal hyperhidrosis have normal sweat glands that are dispersed in the same density as non-affected people, but their sweat glands are overactive in specific areas, so they experience excessive sweating. This is why a localized treatment of Botulinum Toxin Injections can be so helpful.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Botulinum Toxin injections are an excellent method for reducing symptoms and improving quality of life. Most patients who initiate treatment are motivated to stick with it due to its effectiveness and lack of adverse effects.⁠⁠
