Excessive and abnormal sweating is a serious medical condition for millions of people worldwide. Hyperhidrosis means your body’s normal self-cooling mechanism is overactive. Sweaty palms and feet, dripping foreheads, and embarrassing sweat rings under your arms affect just about every aspect of your life – both socially and professionally.

Although some mild-level sufferers are able to manage with topical RX-strength antiperspirants, many need a more effective long-term treatment. Dr. Cassileth and her injection specialists at The Med Spa at The Practice use localized Botox injections to stabilize your sweat levels. Botox® is injected in the sweat-producing areas in the armpit and effectively turn-off the signals to the nerves that instruct the sweat glands to activate. Sweat reduction is noticeable in 2 to 4 days and substantial within two weeks after the first injection. The duration of effectiveness is up to 12 months.
