Secondary hyperhidrosis: The person sweats too much because of an underlying health condition, such as obesity, gout, menopause, tumor, mercury poisoning, diabetes, or hyperthyroidism. Primary idiopathic hyperhidrosis: "Idiopathic" means "of unknown cause." In the majority of cases, the hyperhidrosis is localized.

Here at Nova Aesthetic Clinic, we offer a special type of treatment using Botulin injection to help our clients gain relief from the discomfort of persistent and excessive sweating.

When injected into the skin areas producing excessive sweat, Botulin blocks the sympathetic stimulation at the autonomic nervous system. It blocks the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands.

Which part of my body can I receive Botulin injection for Hyperhidrosis?

Botulin injection is FDA approved as a treatment for severe underarm sweating. However, our experienced doctors have taken a step further to maximize its use for controlling excessive sweating in some other parts of the body.
