Botox or botulinum toxin is a terrific treatment for excessive sweating, pretty much on most places of the body. I have treated numerous areas safely and effectively with botox, and patients are uniformly very pleased.
Botox has been shown to be quite effective for the treatment of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). The most commonly treated areas include underarms, palms and soles. I have successfully injected patients with Botox for treatment of excessive sweating of the face and scalp. In the hands of an experienced injector, Botox injections for treatment of hyperhidrosis of the buttocks may be effective and is worth a try. If it catches on, perhaps Allergan will change the name to "Buttox"!
