Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which an individual sweats excessively and often without reason. Sweating is the body’s natural reaction to keeping cool, however individuals with this medical condition will sweat even when the body is cool or at rest. Often times the excessive sweating is not triggered by anything. The individual that suffers with hyperhidrosis has very active sweat glands that can effect the hands, armpits and the feet.
Hyperhidrosis can be treated with a simple Botulinum Toxin injection. It will simply create a barrier for the sweat glands and signal to brain that it doesn't need to sweat excessively. Sweat will not be produced in the areas that have been treated with the anti-sweat injections.
Anti-Sweat injections will be injected into the skin in the area where excessive sweating takes place. The solution is injected just under the skin where the sweat glands are located. With in couple of weeks, the areas will subside. A single treatment can last between 6 to 8 months,and most common area to have these injections is in armpits, but other areas can be treated as well.

The results are going to vary by person. However, you should expect significant reduction to no sweating in couple of weeks after your treatment.
The injections can vary from person to person. In many cases they would last for 4 months, thought it depends on brand of product and individual. Some people have been able to go for as long as 12 months with a single round of injections.
The injections involve a needle and so there will be some pain. Most patients describe it as a pinch as the needle goes into the muscle.
The treatment works by blocking nerve signals to the sweat glands in the armpit area using Botulinum Toxin, thus preventing the glands from producing sweat. By keeping the skin dry, the treatment additionally helps to prevent body odour. (Body odour is formed when bacteria degrade sweat).
There is a big difference between dermal fillers and anti wrinkle injections. While both are injected into the skin by a medical professional, the similarities stop there. Dermal fillers provide volume while anti wrinkle injections freeze / paralyse the muscle in order to provide a smoother appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Depending upon what you want to improve on your appearance, you may need one or the other – or a combination of both. Anti wrinkle injections are not capable of sculpting the face or adding any kind of volume. However, they can be one of the best ways to smooth out lines and wrinkles and reduce the overall appearance of the wrinkles
