This condition, known as hyperhidrosis, causes uncontrollable perspiration in specific areas of the body, such as the armpits, palms, or feet. By injecting anti-wrinkle injections into these areas, the nerve signals responsible for sweating are disrupted, preventing the glands from becoming active. The treatment is safe and generally well-tolerated, with minor potential side effects. Within just a few days after the procedure, patients can experience a significant reduction in sweating.
