What is hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a common disorder that causes excessive sweating. It affects 2% to 3% of Americans, and most commonly involves the armpits (axillary hyperhidrosis) or the palms and soles of the feet (palmoplantar hyperhidrosis).

How can hyperhidrosis be treated?

Hyperhidrosis can be treated through:

– Antiperspirants
– Prescription-strength antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride hexahydrate
– Lontophoresis, a device that passes electricity through the skin using tap water
– Oral medications known as anticholinergics, which reduce sweating
– Botox (botulinum toxin)
– Surgery (cervical sympathectomy), as a last resort

What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?

BOTOX Cosmetic is a prescription medicine which is injected into the muscles to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines. It is used in cosmetic medicine to treat facial creases and wrinkles through a controlled weakening of the muscles.

How does BOTOX® Cosmetic work?

Botox® Cosmetic relaxes the contraction of muscles by blocking nerve impulses so that muscles (that cause wrinkles) can no longer contract. As a result, the wrinkles relax and soften. After treatment, the facial skin remains smooth and unwrinkled, while the untreated facial muscles contract normally, thus allowing your normal facial expression to remain unaffected. The entire process usually takes two to four days for cosmetic improvement, and the effects last from four to six months. Most patients require retreatment as the wrinkles and lines begin to reappear; however, after each injection the wrinkles tend to return less severely.
