Hyperhidrosis is a skin condition that leads to excessive production of sweat more than required for normal thermoregulation, affecting both men and women from childhood or adolescence. It is estimated that hyperhidrosis affects 3{\%} of the US population. Areas such as the palms and soles are frequently affected, and it may exert deep negative impact on patient's personal and professional life. Treatment is difficult, and various therapeutic methods are available with limited effectiveness. Botulinum toxin has been used for 20 years safely and effectively. We will discuss the literature and bring clinical experience with this treatment.
