A: Botox for Underarm Sweating

I will start off with 50 units, and sometimes go higher depending on the response. I have replaced Botox with the PitStop procedure for permanently reducing underarm sweating.  As a one-time treatment it works better and is less expensive.

Dear DVicious, Treatment for underarm or axillary sweating is 50 units of Botox per axilla. You'll need 100 units total.  Treatments usually keep sweating at bay for about 6 months. Enjoy not having to worry about wet patches on your clothing!
