Perspiration Treatment
Severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis, or severe underarm sweating, is a medical condition
that involves hyperactive sweat glands. Sweat is your body's temperature regulator. In
severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis, sweating significantly exceeds the body's normal
requirements.

BOTOX^® is FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating that is not adequately managed
with topical agents. BOTOX^® treatment helps control this condition by temporarily blocking
the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands
don't receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops.

About half of patients who had a BOTOX^® treatment experienced significant reduction of
underarm sweating lasting at least 201 days or 6.7 months. It is not a cure; your symptoms will
return gradually, and you will know when the time is right for another treatment.
