Botulinum toxin injections are one of the methods used to treat excessive sweating. The botulinum toxin temporarily blocks nerve impulses, which in turn prevents the sweat glands from producing sweat. The substance doesn’t directly affect the sweat glands themselves or their structure. Once the effect of the injection wears off, nerve signaling is restored and the glands return to their normal activity.
