There are many people who suffer from a condition of extreme sweating under the arms called Axillary Hyperhidrosis.Even your hands, along with other parts of the body, can get affected by Hyperhidrosis. It is however easier to hide the sweating of feet and palms, than the excessive sweating of the underarms.Axillary Hyperhidrosis is different from normal sweating as you never know when it will attack you as it is not dependant on warmth or on your being nervous or anxious.Axillary Hyperhidrosis is also in no way affected by exercise.All this makes it difficult for you to know when you will start sweating.Before you know it, you find major stains under your arms and your co-workers mentioning some smell. 

Now you may start wondering about what can be done to treat Axillary Hyperhidrosis? One of the most common ways of stopping this form of excessive sweating is Botox A injections.Botox was previously used only for getting rid of wrinkles, but today it is found to be effective in stopping sweating too.Botox is as safe for use in stopping sweating as it is in cosmetic surgery.All you have to do is depending on the extent of your sweating, get a few injections under each arm, every six to eight months.Often, a person will get between 15 and 20 different injections per treatment.There is no pain at all during the treatment as a small amount of local anesthesia is administered in every treatment.
