Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can significantly impact daily life. Wet armpits, clammy hands, or sweaty foreheads can cause insecurity and discomfort, even without exertion or heat. Xavier Clinics In Amsterdam we offer an effective and safe treatment for excessive sweating with botulinum toxin.
What is excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which the sweat glands are overactive. This can occur in various areas of the body, such as:
- Armpits
- Palms
- Soles of the feet
- Forehead and scalp
The cause is often overactive impulse transmission between nerves and sweat glands. Botulinum toxin can temporarily block this impulse.
How does botulinum toxin work against sweating?
Botulinum toxin inhibits the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands. Small injections in the treated area stop or significantly reduce sweat production. The treatment works locally and has no effect on the rest of the body.
