Abstract
Hyperhidrosis of other facial areas is less common, but a considerable problem for affected subjects. There are few reports of BTX treatment of single parts of the face, e.g., the forehead, the nasal, and cranial region. Patients with hyperhidrosis of the face and scalp would be sufficiently treated by intradermal injections of botulinum toxin (BTX) type A.
