Botox prevents sweating in the underarms for about six months
Botox does not permanently prevent underarm sweating. Its effect appears to be longer in duration for hyperhidrosis of the underarms than the wrinkle minimizing effect it has on the muscles of the face which only lasts 3 to 4 months.

Duration of Botox for Sweating
Unfortunately, the effects are not permanent and maintenance treatments will be needed to maintain the benefits. In our experience, the average duration is a minimum of four months with the average being seven months.
Because these treatments are not inexpensive, many will choose to have the treatment in anticipation of a special event (ex: wedding, graduation, vacation) or in preparation of the hot summer months.

Botox For Sweating - Permanent or not?
When Botox is properly administered under the arm pits or on the palms or souls of the feet for sweating it tends to last approximately 10 months. This is different from the average 3-4 month duration when injected on the forehead for wrinkle relief.

Botox for sweating: Lasts longer than for wrinkles!
Botox for underarm sweating (a relatively easy procedure to endure, about 20-50 injections with a tiny needle in each armpit) works very well when placed properly, and does last longer than treatment for facial wrinkles. Some claim up to 1 year, but more likely 6 to 8 months in most. Some severe perspirers may need retreatment after 4 months. The cost is usually about $1000 but some insurance companies MAY help cover the procedure.

Botox for sweating
Usually the Botox for treating excessive sweating lasts about 6 to 8 months on the average. However, on a rare patient I have been told the sweating never returns. This is very rare however.
