How Does Botox Work in Sweating Problems?

The aim of the Botox treatment for sweating is to stop the nerve conduction of the nerve endings. By stopping the nerve conduction, the sweat glands are not stimulated. Therefore, sweating is also prevented.

A substance called botulinum toxin is used in Botox injection. It is known that excessive sweating that occurs as a result of the nerve endings stimulating the sweat glands does not only occur in the armpit area. With this procedure, it is also possible to prevent excessive sweating in the hands and feet.

Excessive sweating, especially in the hands and feet, negatively affects both the social and business lives of people. There are many people who have to change their profession due to excessive sweating in their hands.
