Excessive sweating and teeth grinding are two different medical issues that can significantly impact quality of life.

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, often affects the hands, feet, armpits, or head. Botulinum toxin injections can temporarily block the activity of sweat glands, leading to a significant reduction in sweating. This therapy often yields excellent results, especially for underarm sweating and palm sweating.

Teeth grinding, or bruxism, often occurs unconsciously during sleep and can lead to tooth damage, headaches, and tension. Botulinum toxin can be injected into the jaw muscles to reduce their activity and decrease teeth grinding. This helps reduce the strain on the teeth and jaw joints, thereby preventing potential damage.
