Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating. It can cause significant emotional and psychological distress, embarrassment and can have a negative impact on a person's quality of life. It affects approximately 1% of the population, and affects both men and women equally.
Hyperhidrosis usually affects only certain parts of the body, such as the underarms, hands, feet or face. Hyperhidrosis has no known cause, but if it affects the whole body, it may be a result of an underlying medical condition, and you may wish to discuss this with your GP.
Botulinum toxin is a well established treatment for this problem. The safety pointers in general for botulinum toxin treatment are the same as those mentioned above, and the effects of the treatment can be expected to last for up to 9 months.
