It is typically recommended for individuals who experience excessive sweating that is not normal or typical, and who have tried other methods such as antiperspirants and lifestyle changes without success.

Individuals who should not try excessive sweating treatment include those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain medical conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, or have a compromised immune system.

There are several different types of procedures available for excessive sweating treatment, including anticholinergic medications, botox injections, and iontophoresis. The specific procedure chosen will depend on the severity of the sweating and the individual's specific needs

The recovery period for excessive sweating treatment varies depending on the specific procedure. For botox injections, there may be some swelling and redness at the injection site, but this typically goes away within a few days. For iontophoresis, the recovery period may be longer, with some mild soreness or redness in the treated area.

There are some potential complications that can occur with excessive sweating treatment, including allergic reactions to medications, infection at the injection site, and nerve damage. It is important to discuss these risks with a healthcare provider before undergoing any treatment.
