Botox in Fingers for Hyperhidrosis

Hello. About two months ago I received botox in both of my palms for the treatment of hyperhidrosis. I am having a problem- my fingers are still sweating badly. My doctor stated that he did not feel comfortable doing the treatment in fingers, however I have seen others have had their fingers treated with success and I would really like to look into it. I am wondering- since I already have 50 units in each hand and 50 units in each underarm- is looking into getting my fingers done safe right now?

Botulinum Toxin For Finger Hyperhidrosis
Great question: yes, it would be safe to have your fingers done now given that they haven't been treated effectively. You would not be at risk of a "toxic dose" of botulinum toxin.
There are no muscles in the fingers (just tendons, arteries, veins, nerves, bones, cartilage and ligaments) so there should be no risk of weakness with botulinum toxin to the fingers. There is a small risk of weakness from injections into the palms, although if done properly the risk is very low...

Botox for hyperhidrosis in finger tips
Make sure your injector is an expert injector such as a dermatologist since we routinely treat fingertips without problem. The right areas need to be treated with the right dosing to give great results and longevity of effect. It would be safe to reinject these areas since they clearly haven't responded to the initial dose.
