Treat Your Excessive Sweating with BOTOX Injections in Indianapolis

Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating is a common disorder affecting many people. Sweaty palms and underarm excessive perspiration are the most common form of hyperhidrosis. Many people are aware that BOTOX Cosmetic is used for cosmetic enhancements but did you know that BOTOX is FDA-approved for the treatment of excessive underarm sweating?

Sweating is often uncontrollable, embarrassing, and not anticipated.

Normal sweating is needed for thermal regulation, however, in people suffering from hyperhidrosis, sweating exceeds the body’s actual needs. It is thought that excessive sweating is a result of overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system.
