Hyperhidrosis of the body, including excessive sweating of the face, head, excessive sweating under the arms or excessive sweating of the feet is a disease that should be treated. Facial sweating, seen especially on the forehead and around the nose, is embarrassing and therefore leads to a loss of self-confidence and often has the effect of limiting social contacts.

Available treatment methods
Among the available treatment methods are: washing the head regularly and keeping hygiene high, drinking herbal infusions, taking sedatives, anytcholinergic medications and B vitamins, iontophoresis, a treatment using low intensity current, intradermal botulinum toxin injection treatments (the most effective and safe).
Causes of excessive sweating under the arms and feet
Excessive activity of sweat glands located under the arms or on the feet.
Retention time of the treatment
New neuromuscular endings, inhibited by botulinum toxin, form over a period of 4 to 12 months, so patients most often enjoy the resulting effect for about 4-6 months in the case of wrinkles, and up to 9 or even 12 months in the case of hyperhidrosis treatment.
