Causes of Hyperhidrosis
While sweating is a natural bodily function triggered by heat, nerves, and exertion, hyperhidrosis involves the overstimulation of nerves that activate sweat glands. This leads to significantly more sweating than usual.
Where Does Hyperhidrosis Occur?
Hyperhidrosis typically affects the eccrine sweat glands, which are concentrated in areas like:
- Armpits (most common)
- Palms of the hands
- Soles of the feet
- Back of the neck
- Forehead
Hyperhidrosis Treatment with Botox Injections
At Neogevity MD, we offer effective hyperhidrosis treatments using Botox injections. Botox is FDA-approved for treating excessive sweating. It works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, reducing excessive perspiration.
The Procedure:
Botox is injected directly into the affected area (e.g., armpits) using a very fine needle. A numbing solution can be applied to minimize discomfort. The procedure is quick and straightforward, with most patients experiencing noticeable improvement within a few days and full dryness effects within two weeks.
