If you fall victim to excessive sweating and conventional treatments have yet to work, this may be your solution.  As you may know, Botox is the number one product for treating wrinkles and recently found to benefit sever migraines.  What you may not know is,  Botox can also help your “sweaty palms.”  German Doctors recently reported that Botox can be used to stop excessive sweating.  They used Botox injections to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in a healthy 23 year old woman.  "Ever since childhood, the woman had experienced bouts of excessive sweat in her right forearm and the back of her right hand" (WebMD).  The Botox treatments significantly improved her quality of life and eliminated the sweating episodes that had become more and more troublesome over the years.

Note: Botox is approved by the FDA to treat severe underarm sweating that cannot be managed by topical agents such as prescription antiperspirants.

According to WebMD, “Botox contains a tiny amount of the botulinum toxin. When used to treat severe underarm sweating, it stops the release of a chemical messenger called acetylcholine, temporarily blocking the nerves in the underarm that stimulate sweating.”
