Botox to Eliminate Sweaty Feet?

Botox is an ideal treatment, but not the only treatment, for hyperhidrosis. In my Santa Monica practice, I perform several non-surgical techniques for hyperhidrosis that provide longterm relief of the symptoms of excessive sweating. Botox injections work well and require treatment every 4 months.

Botox for the treatment of hyperhidrosis of palms, soles and underarms is a safe and effective treatment. It lasts anywhere from 4-8 months. Dysport may even be a better treatment due to its diffusion properties. I hope that helps!

Botox typically works quite well for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) on the palms, soles, under the arms, and on the face or scalp. Although it requires multiple small injections into the affected area, the results are usually relatively long lasting (6-12 months or even longer for some). This typically is a very safe treatment when performed by an experienced injector and patient satisfaction tends to be quite high. Good luck with the treatment!

Botox is still safe at the doses used for hyperhidrosis (approx 50 units per foot).  I would insist, however, on having nerve blocks performed prior to the Botox injections for your comfort.  You can expect the results to last approx 6 months. Good luck.
