Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Botox® temporarily blocks the chemical signals from the nerves to the sweat glands, preventing them from producing excessive sweat in treated areas.
Excessive sweating can be uncomfortable, inconvenient, and impact daily life. Our non-surgical sweat reduction treatment uses Botox®, which is FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating, to target overactive sweat glands and reduce perspiration in the treated area. Treatment of other areas is off-label and is discussed at consultation.
Under the medical direction of Dr. Rajiv Sood, board-certified plastic surgeon.
