Does Botox work on palmar Hyperhidrosis?

My daughter is 13 and has palmar hyperhydrosis. We are considering Botox treatments? Any other suggestions? We've tried anti-perspirent on her hands. It doesn't work very well.

Yes, neurotoxins can treat Palmer hyperhidrosis. Unfortunately, it is a fairly painful process during the injections and often insurance does not pay for treatment, which is expensive. Thank you for your question.
