Botulinum toxin (sometimes called a neuromodulator) may be considered for focal hyperhidrosis, most often in the underarms and also in the palms or scalp. It works by temporarily interrupting the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. Suitability is assessed at consultation.

Understanding Hyperhidrosis

Primary focal hyperhidrosis is sweating beyond what the body needs for temperature regulation. At our clinic, the areas treated most often are the underarms, as well as the palms and scalp. It commonly begins in adolescence or early adulthood, affects both sides of the body, and can run in families.

When to Look for an Underlying Cause

Secondary hyperhidrosis is sweating caused by something else - thyroid conditions, diabetes, certain medications or menopause among them. Because the cause changes the approach, your health history is reviewed before any treatment is discussed, and assessment with your family doctor may be recommended.

How Botulinum Toxin Is Used

Sweat glands are activated by nerve signals. Botulinum toxin (sometimes called a neuromodulator) may temporarily interrupt that signalling in the treated area, which is why it is used for focal hyperhidrosis. Suitability and treatment areas are assessed at consultation.
