We can reduce excessive sweating of the underarms and palms using injections of BOTOX® Cosmetic to block the release of acetycholine, the chemical responsible for stimulating the sweat glands. Results from BOTOX® treatments for excessive sweating generally last about three to six months. BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment, and the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Within days of one 10- to 20-minute treatment (a few tiny injections), there is a noticeable reduction in sweat production.
No anesthesia is required, although we may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or an anesthetic cream. There is no recovery time needed. You are ready to get on with your day!
BOTOX® is administered by physicians and is available only by prescription.
