Excessive sweat on my upper forehead. Is Botox the best solution? (Photo)

Question

Hi, Im in my early 30's and very easily sweat on my upper forehead. If i just walk like 300 meters i start sweating on my upper forehead and not in any other place. I do some exercise and have normal weight. How can i stop this? Is Botox the best solution for this? I'm a bit scared if that will change my natural "look" and mimic...

Thank you for your question.  Botox has been FDA approved for Axillary hyperhidrosis since 2004.

We have had good experience with Botox injections to the armpits and other areas of the body. We have treated patients, staff, and family members. The red carpet models also like to do this before big events.

While your area is a bit less common, we have had good results.  Best to speak with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.  Together you will come up with a plan.

Hi! Getting botox injections in your forehead will stop you from sweating excessively. As long as the botox is strategically and correctly placed, it will not change the natural look of your face. The best thing to do is to speak with a provider about your goals so you can come up with the best solution.

Hello, Botox can help you a lot to treat sweating, in terms of facial expressions they can change, but the final result depends on the person who applies it, in any case the effect lasts between 4 and 6 months.

Yes botox can make you much more comfortable! An experienced injector should know how to inject this area without making changes to your forehead lines.

I have treated many patients with excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) of the upper forehead/hairline. You might try first aluminum chloride at night (e.g. Drysol). Another option is a pill like robinul or ditropan. Otherwise, for precise results and safety, botox injections lasting 3-6 months in the hairline are a great option from your dermatologist.
