EXCESSIVE SWEATING
Although sweating is completely normal and the body's way to reduce heat, severe, or excessive sweating is known as Hyperhidrosis, a condition that effects both men and women. It can be embarrassing and effect an individual's confidence – particularly at work or socially. Botox can provide an effective treatment.
