Hyperhidrosis occurs when the sweat glands receive excessive stimulation from the nervous system. Primary hyperhidrosis often begins during childhood or adolescence and commonly affects:

• Underarms

• Palms

• Soles

• Face and scalp

Depending on the severity of symptoms, treatment options may include:

• Prescription-strength antiperspirants

• Prescription topical medications

• Oral medications

• Iontophoresis

• Botulinum toxin injections

• Specialist referral for selected surgical options

Botulinum toxin is one of the most effective treatments for excessive underarm sweating.

The medication works by blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production for several months. Botulinum toxin has been used successfully to treat excessive sweating affecting the underarms, palms, soles and face.

Many patients notice substantial improvement within the first few weeks following treatment.

Patients with severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis may be eligible for Medicare-supported botulinum toxin treatment where criteria are met.

Your dermatologist will determine whether you qualify and discuss treatment recommendations during your consultation.
