Introduction
Hyperhidrosis, the medical term for excessive sweating, occurs when overactive sweat glands produce excessive moisture. This can cause embarrassment, inconvenience, and distress for many patients. Excessive sweating can occur not only in the underarms but also in the hands, feet, scalp, and other areas, negatively impacting quality of life. At Moy MD in Los Angeles, CA, our team offers cutting-edge, non-invasive, restorative treatments for this concern. Increase your peace of mind today by booking an introductory consultation in Torrance or Beverly Hills.
Antiperspirants are considered the first line of treatment for excessive sweating of the underarms, hands, and feet. They are the least invasive treatment option for hyperhidrosis, and we often recommend them first before more invasive options. If topical prescription-strength antiperspirants are ineffective, injections of BOTOX or Dysport may dramatically reduce sweating in these sensitive areas.
Ideal candidates for hyperhidrosis treatment with Dysport or BOTOX are healthy adults experiencing excessive sweating that disrupts their daily routine and negatively impacts their confidence. If you are in the Los Angeles area and have tried prescription antiperspirants in the past with little success, you may strongly benefit from our customized neuromodulator injections at Moy MD in Torrance and Beverly Hills. Treatment is also recommended for patients seeking effective dryness without medication. To best determine your candidacy, Dr. Moy will meet with you for a private medical and physical assessment.
Using neuromodulators for hyperhidrosis offers numerous benefits for our patients in Los Angeles. Advantages include:

After your injections, you can expect a smooth, seamless recovery and resume normal activities right away. Mild redness or tiny bumps at the injection points are normal side effects. These symptoms resolve quickly, usually within a few minutes to a few hours. Within 5 to 7 days, you will start noticing improved dryness, with the full benefits of your procedure becoming evident within 1 to 2 weeks. Changes typically last 4 to 6 months.
