| TREATMENTS FOR EXCESSIVE SWEATING |
 The initial approach to treating hyperhidrosis generally involves antiperspirants (either over-the-counter or prescription strength), which are less invasive and more easily accessible than other options. Antiperspirants generally work best for mild to moderate cases. For patients whose hyperhidrosis is triggered by stress, oral medications for anxiety and depression can also be considered. If a combination of antiperspirant and oral medication fails to yield a reduction in sweat, BOTOX injections, which were approved for excessive sweating in 2004, can be administered in the underarms at six-month intervals. This treatment, now available at BodyLase, is remarkably successful in eliminating excessive sweating.
