Botox is more commonly associated with the reduction of frown lines but the use of it to stop perspiration on palms is increasing.
Excessively sweaty palms are a problem for many people and it can be an embarrassing and inconvenient affliction that cannot be countered with traditional antiperspirant.
According to the Express and Star, roughly one per cent of the UK population suffer from hyperhidrosis, the official term for excessive sweating.
A correctly placed botox injection in the palm of the hand blocks the receptors that activate sweat glands and prevent the nerve signals from telling the skin to sweat.
Injections can be painful as the palm of the hand is covered with nerve endings but treatments usually last less than half an hour and the results can last up to a year.
Studies have found that patients using botox to prevent sweaty palms have found a significant reduction in physical symptoms and an increase in their self-esteem.
