Can Botox treat hyperhidrosis? Is this Botox hyperhidrosis treatment approved by the FDA or just experimental?

While Botox is very successful at treating axillary hyperhidrosis, it is temporary. A longer-lasting option that is also very effective is superficial liposuction of the axilla.

Recently, superficial subdermal treatment with the 1064  nm or 1320 nm laser has been shown great promise. These treatments help to eliminate the sweat glands that produce sweat in this area, and have been demonstrated to be very safe.
