FAQ

How do B*tox injections work for excess sweating?

B*tox works by blocking the nerves responsible for activating your sweat glands. Normally, your nervous system activates your sweat glands when your body temperature rises. This is how your body automatically cools itself. In people who suffer with hyperhidrosis the nerves that signal the sweat glands are overactive.

Btox injections are given directly into the area of your body that commonly sweats, your overactive nerves are essentially paralyzed in this area so that when your nerves can’t signal your sweat glands, you don’t sweat. However, Botox only prevents sweating in the specific area where it’s injected.
