What is the typical cause of heavy sweating in women?

Various Causes: Hyperhidrosis (or excess sweating) is more common than you'd think! antiperspirants are the simple answer, but often won't work with true hyperhidrosis. I have had success treating patients underarms, hands, feet, forehead, and scalp with botox. Botox is fda approved for sweating and is very safe and effective. Botox typically lasts for 6 months when used for excess sweating. Hope this helps!

Dysport: Botox is very effective. Usually needs at least 75 units per arm, which can be pricey. I have had better effect with dysport, using 150 units per arm. You get more therapy with Dysport at less cost. As well, Dysport diffuses a little more, which actually helps the patient more. Try dysport.
