How many units of Botox or Dysport are needed on average in each armpit to block excessive sweating? Also, can I expect my treatment to last 3-4 months like it does on the face? Thanks!
Answer: 100 units of botox or 300 units of dysport to temporarily stop armpit sweating A good starting point is 100 units of botox (50 units per armpit) or 300 units of dysport (150 units per armpit). Most patients, even heavy sweaters, will get relief from this dosing. If there is "breakthrough sweating" or if the results are short lasting (less than six months), it is reasonable to increase the dosing incrementally. You may also want to consider miraDry. MiraDry is a noninvasive procedure that is done in the office. It destroys sweat glands using microwave technology. Patients typically have a >80% reduction with just one treatment. It costs about $2000.

Answer: Botox or Dysport for hyperhydrosis treatment Botox has been FDA approved for Axillary hyperhidrosis since 2004.In our office, we have had good experience with Botox injections to the armpits. We have treated patients, staff, and family members. We typically use 50 units per armpit. I have had a couple of patients tell me it is the first time they wore a powder blue shirt in years. The red carpet models also like to do this before big events. Jeffrey J. Roth, M.D., F.A.C.S.Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLas Vegas Plastic Surgery

Answer: Miradry instead! Our office specializes in Miraday. Miradry just got FDA clearance for elimination of all hair colors under the arm. It also has clearance for the elimination of underarm sweating and odor. Much cheaper than botox and permanent.

Answer: Botox/Dysport Units to Treat Hyperhidrosis Usually the amount of Botox used to treat hyperhidrosis is 50 units per axilla and the amount of Dysport is normally 150 units per axilla. This can vary depending on how large the area is and how much you sweat. The treatment normally lasts anywhere from 3-6 months on average. If the treatment only lasts about 3 months for you, you may need more units. It is always best to have a consultation with a physician in order to determine if you are a candidate for treatment and how much you will need.
