Hyperhidrosis is a little-known disorder that can cause embarrassment and unease. It results in excessive sweating of hands, feet, underarms and forehead, and may be related to organic pathologies, such as an over-active thyroid, or conditions of emotional stress. Treatment with botulinum toxin (botox) is the quickest, most effective and least invasive way to solve the problem for at least 6-9 months.
It takes a few days for the treatment to kick in and become effective, and it lasts for 6 to 9 months, depending on the patient. The effect of the treatment often lasts longer after several applications.
