Are there any non-surgical solutions for excessive underarm sweating and palmer sweating?

Hyperhidrosis (excessive palmer and underarm sweating) is a real problem faced by many patients in the United States. It affects patients both on a personal social level and even professional level. This can have a profound effect on productivity at work.

Although, there are many solutions to this problem, Botox injections are very effective in helping control the hyperhidrosis. Botox works to block the neurotransmitter that results in the excessive sweating. It is injected directly into the affected area. This can be done in the office setting under local anesthesia. There is little to no downtime. It takes a few days for the Botox to start working. Once it takes effect, it will temporarily stop the excessive sweating.
