Cost and Number of Treatments for Botox in Underarms?

Uvita, The cost and duration of action of Botox for sweating may vary widely depending on how many sweat glands you have in your armpits. A general estimation can be based on the amount of hair in your armpits. A small area of hair usually indicates a lesser number of sweat glands, which may be cheaper to treat and last longer. My patients usually pay $1000-$1500 for a treatment and repeat twice annually. When they compare it to their costs for deodorant/antiperspirant it's not too bad... more

You'll need 100 units total for both underarms, and just about all of my patients love it since it really keeps you dry. Results last around 6 months, and the cost can be anywhere from $800 to $1200, depending on your location. Insurance may cover this procedure for hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating). Good luck.

The cost of the procedure depends on how much your doctor charges.  50 units per underarm is the usual dose.  Insurance typically will pick up the cost only if other treatments have have failed. For this indication, the effects of Botox typically last 6-8 months, sometimes longer.  Good luck.

Botox injections are very effective for underarms. The effect  generally last 200 days (around 6-7 months). We charge $950 for 100 units of Botox. We inject 50 units under each arm.

Botox is very effective for underarm sweating. However, it can be costly and is rarely covered by insurance. You will likely need 2 to three treatments per year. The cost can vary, but be prepared to spend between $1000 and $1500 per treatment. It takes much more Botox to stop the sweating than it does to stop a few wrinkles in your face.

In the chicagoland area, it is my general impression that the cost for Botox to the underarms tends to average about $1000-1200 per treatment. Insurance coverage does vary by carrier.

All my patients have had insurance coverage for this procedure so far. Insurance pays $525 for the Vial of BOTOX itself. It then reimburses the physician for the office visit and approximately $65-75 for administration of the BOTOX. We administer 50 units of BOTOX into each axillae. It takes one treatment which lasts about 9 months to a year.
