Can Botox work for excessive underarm sweating?

Thank you for your question.

Botox is an EXCELLENT choice for underarm sweating. The procedure takes about 10-15 minutes and requires multiple injections. The effect lasts anywhere from 3-6 months and the cost can vary depending on how many units are injected into each axilla (generally 25-50 units on each side).

Before you try Botox (a more expensive choice), try using Drysol (Prescription) or Certain Dri (OTC) every night to every other night. That might be a great alternative if it works for you.

Good luck!
