Botox treatment cost for underarms
We treat hundreds of patients each year successfully with Botox for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) of various areas, but most commonly the underarms. Private insurance plans thankfully cover most of the cost of Botox, and there is typically an injection fee as well that varies. Best to speak with your dermatologist about the various treatment options for your hyperhidrosis, of which Botox is one of the most effective and safest.

Botox for Underarm Hyperhidrosis and Insurance Coverage
99% of Botox for underarm hyperhidrosis is covered by medical insurnace in our geograhic area. Some individuals who have high co-insurance or high deductibles will have to pay for the amount that is not covered by insurance. But, if you have good health insurance without a deductible or co-insurnce, Botox is covered if the insurance company authorizes it - sometimes if certain conditions are met - failed topical aluminum chloride, oral anticholinergics, etc.

We value our Botox treatments based on areas. Underarms are considered two areas, depending on your provider. It should begin about $500. Hyperhidrosis is considered a medical indication for this treatment. Your provider may be able to bill your insurance company.

Botox and sweating
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...

BOTOX works well for underarm sweating.
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.

Botox for excessive underarm sweating
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 helps for underarm sweating
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.

Botox for Sweating
I have used Botox for underarm sweating with success. Not all insurance companies will cover this treatment modality, so check with them first. It does average approximately $1000. per treatment which lasts in my experience 6-9 months. There is an alternative which is being studied now and has been used with success and that is laser treatments. This uses any of the laser assisted liposculpture devices (SmartLipo, ProLipo, CoolLipo, etc) but in this case the laser, instead of removing...
