Botulinum Toxin Therapy for Sweat Glands

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can be a challenging condition that impacts daily life and confidence. At Alaxis Aesthetics, we offer Botulinum Toxin Therapy as a safe solution for controlling sweat production.

What is Botulinum Toxin Therapy for Sweat Glands?

Botulinum Toxin Therapy involves injecting a purified form of botulinum toxin into the sweat glands. This blocks the nerve signals that stimulate sweat production, therefore resulting in a significant reduction of perspiration in the treated areas. Commonly targeted regions for procedure include:

  • Armpits (Axillary Hyperhidrosis)
  • Palms and Soles (Hands and Feet)
  • Forehead and Scalp
