I am considering Botox for underarm perspiration but I would like to know, how much pain would be associated with doing that?
Answer: Miradry instead! Our office specializes in Miraday. Miradry just got FDA clearance for elimination of all hair colors under the arm. It also has clearance for the elimination of underarm sweating and odor. Much cheaper than botox and permanent.

Answer: Botox injections under the armpit are comfortable, but well tolerated You will receive about 20 injections with a fine-gauged needle into each armpit. Each injection feel a bit like a mosquito bite. There is no pain once the needle is withdrawn.You may also want to consider MiraDry, a noninvasive, in-office procedure. It destroys sweat glands using microwave technology. Patients typically have a >80% reduction with just one treatment. We pretreat the armpits with injectable lidocaine. This is uncomfortable for a few moments. After the procedure, when the numbing medication wears away, patients do have swelling and mild discomfort that lasts for 24 hours to a few days.

Answer: Botox for underarm hyperhidrosis, painful? Botox has been FDA approved for Axillary hyperhidrosis since 2004.In our office, we apply a topical numbing medicine. The procedure is quick, using a very small needle. Most of our patients tolerate it well, and often say it is not a "big deal." We have had good experience with Botox injections to the armpits. We have treated patients, staff, and family members. We typically use 50 units per armpit. I have had a couple of patients tell me it is the first time they wore a powder blue shirt in years. The red carpet models also like to do this before big events.

Answer: Pain With Botox Injections At Underarms Most patients seem to tolerate Botox injections at the underarms very well. The needle used is small and the treatment is quick, despite the number if injections delivered. A topical anesthetic cream can be used to help alleviate some of the discomfort. Sometimes a cold pack can do the trick as well. This treatment is very effective in reducing excessive sweating for 3-6 months.

Answer: Botox for Underarm Hyperhidrosis For most patients, Botox injections do not hurt although you might feel slight discomfort. Your doctor should be able to provide you with a topical anesthetic prior to underarm injections if you are worried about pain or discomfort.
