Excessive Sweating

Primary hyperhidrosis is caused by faulty nerve signals that triggers the sweat glands to become overactive. It usually affects the palms, soles, underarms and sometimes the face. There is no medical cause for this type of hyperhidrosis and it can run in families.

The treatment works by using Botulinum toxin to block the nerve signals that instruct the sweat glands to become active. It takes a few days for the injections to take effect. Results last an average of 6 months.

Treatment is carried out by a doctor.
