Hyperhydrosis is a fancy term for excessive sweating. The most common areas for hyperhydrosis are in the armpits, the hands and in the soles of the feet. Hyperhydrosis can be quite embarrassing and what's great about Botox is it paralyzes the small muscles around the sweat glands. So it really takes care of hyperhydrosis in those areas. Botox works for about six to eight months and works very well before the wedding day and before the Oscars.
