BOTOX ® is most often associated with areas of the face such as the forehead or around the eyes, yet it can be used to great effect on several areas of the body and for different purposes.

One of those purposes is to reduce excessive sweating, a condition which is also known as hyperhidrosis. Botulinum toxin is injected into the skin and works by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands.
