Botox for hyperhidrosis

Botox typically works very well for hyperhidrosis of the underarms.  Injections may reduce sweating up to 100% under normal social situations.  The duration of results varies from person to person but usually last anywhere from 6-12 months or more in some cases.  This is a very easy procedure to perform with typically very high satisfaction rates.  Good luck.
