Botox and Dysport are effective SkinWise Rx treatments for excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis. Sweating is, of course, a normal bodily function, but hyperhidrosis can cause significant discomfort, embarrassment and social and psychological distress for those who suffer from it. Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that is not caused by typical sweat inducing sources such as exercise or heat. The condition affects about 3% of the population. ​

​There are two types of hyperhidrosis: primary and secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis occurs without any underlying medical condition, whereas secondary hyperhidrosis is caused by an underlying medical condition, such as hyperthyroidism, menopause, or diabetes. Botox and Dysport injections are an excellent treatment with documented results that works by blocking the signals that tell the sweat glands to produce sweat, effectively reducing the amount of sweat that is produced.

When used to treat hyperhidrosis, Botox or Dysport are injected into several areas of the affected area, such as the underarms, palms, scalp or feet. The injections are nearly painless, but some patients may experience mild discomfort. The procedure can be performed in the SkinWise Rx clinic and usually takes about 15-30 minutes.

Botox and Dysport injections are not a permanent cure for hyperhidrosis but will typically last for up to several months. The effects will eventually wear off at which time the injections will likely need to be repeated in order to maintain results. Most patients experience a significant reduction in sweating after just one treatment, with some reporting up to a 90% reduction in sweat production. The duration of the effects will also vary depending on the individual and the severity of the condition and in some cases, patients may require more frequent injections to maintain the effects.
