Do I have excessive underarm sweating?
If underarm sweating is significantly interfering with your daily activities and topical agents haven't worked, you may be a candidate for BOTOX ®
treatment. First, understand how this condition may affect you. Then schedule a visit with us to discuss treatment options
that are right for you.
What exactly is excessive underarm sweating?
Excessive underarm sweating is a medical condition known as primary axillary hyperhidrosis, which involves overactive sweat glands. Sweat is your body's temperature regulator. In primary axillary hyperhidrosis, sweating significantly exceeds the body's
normal requirements for cooling.
How does it work?
BOTOX® is FDA approved for excessive underarm sweating that is inadequately managed with topical agents. BOTOX®
neurotoxin helps control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat
glands. When the sweat glands don't receive chemical signals, the excessive sweating stops.
You should notice a significant reduction in underarm sweating within 4 weeks of your first treatment. If you are still sweating, there is a possibility that some sweat glands may have been missed, and you may continue to experience some sweating from the untreated areas. If you do not see a significant
reduction in sweating, you should contact us and request a follow-up treatment.
How much does it cost?
The price is based on the amount of units used. Each unit is $12.25. The average units needed per
underarm is 20-40. Pricing will vary by individual.
