Absolutely. Botox is an excellent treatment for under arm hyperhidrosis.
Excess under arm sweating can be diagnosed with a simple in office exam using iodine and starch powder. The area is then injected with Botox just below the surface of the skin, covering the entire area of staining. Typically 50 units are used in each under arm area. My patients experience a dramatic reduction in sweating and the treatments last about 6-7 months. There are no significant complications from the superficial injection of Botox.
Botox is sold as Botox and Botox Cosmetic. When there is a possibility of insurance reimbursing the treatment, which is rare, Botox must be used.
