How Does Botox Treat Hyperhidrosis?
Botox contains botulinum toxin type A and is a neuromodulator that works by temporarily blocking the chemical signals that stimulate sweat glands. When injected into the targeted area, Botox prevents the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for activating sweat glands.
This effectively reduces sweat production in the treated area, providing nearly-instant relief from excessive sweating.
