If you find yourself worrying about sweating, whether from underarm sweat stains, clammy hands and/or sweaty feet, then you most likely suffer from hyperhidrosis.
Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. Nearly one million Canadians suffer from this condition. The areas most affected by the condition are the hands, feet, and underarms, also known as palmar, plantar, and axillary hyperhidrosis. Normally the body produces sweat to regulate body temperature. With hyperhidrosis, the nerves that control the sweat glands become overactive and excess sweat is produced
Excessive sweating whether it is from armpits or from the palms of the hands can have a significant impact on self esteem and can affect a person’s quality of life. Sweating is embarrassing. It stains clothes, ruins romance, and complicates business and social interactions. For patients with severe palmar (hand) hyperhidrosis, they may have difficulty holding a pen, gripping a steering wheel, or even shaking hands.
Botox® is an option to treat excessive sweating. Botox® temporarily blocks the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate sweat glands. When the sweat glands do not receive chemical signals, severe sweating is reduced. Sweat does not go anywhere or get baked up, it is simply not produced. Reduction of swelling begins to take effect in just a few days and results usually last about six months.
