Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. People with hyperhidrosis can suffer from a deterioration in their social and work life.
It is characterized by a constant sweating, regardless of the weather, causing constant humidity that stains clothes, wet hands, wet feet with a bad smell, among others. All this leads to many people isolating themselves and even presenting problems of anxiety and depression due to the embarrassment they can suffer from hyperhidrosis.
There are different treatments for hyperhidrosis, and within them, the fastest, easiest and most effective is the application of botox in the affected area. This treatment can greatly reduce excessive sweating.
It consists of injecting botox into the affected areas, which will inhibit the action of the sweat-producing glands. A significant improvement is generally seen within a week. It is estimated that the effect lasts about 6-8 months or so, and varies greatly from person to person.
