Concern guide
Sweating becomes a concern when it is disproportionate to heat or activity and interferes with daily life.
Understanding
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can affect the underarms, hands, feet, face or other areas. It may occur without another illness or be related to medication, hormones or a medical condition.
Botulinum toxin can reduce signalling to selected sweat glands in suitable focal areas. New generalised sweating, night sweats or sweating with other symptoms should be medically assessed first.
Compare your options
A consultation is the starting point: the most appropriate option depends on what is creating the concern, your goals and your medical history.

Before you decide
