Botox Injections on the Scalp to Treat Hyperhidrosis?

Injecting botox to the scalp is not an uncommon practice.  You just need a lot of botox and sometimes price is an issue.

Botox is an effective treatment for scalp perspiration.  You will need to identify which areas of the scalp you are sweating from (usually the hairline is a good place to start)  and plan a treatment accordingly.  You may need a couple sessions to determine how much and where you need to inject.

Good luck!

There are many options for neurotoxins that work on the scalp for hyperhidrosis. These options include:

 


Botox Medical

Xeomin

Dysport


All three options will exact a benefit for hyperhidrosis.

You are in luck - Botox is very effective to stop sweating - even from the scalp. Botox is commonly used to stop sweating and the scalp is no exception. You should be able to find a plastic surgeon locally who will inject your scalp for you.

Hi Not Luke,
It would be helpful if you could narrow down the exact area of your scalp where the main sweating is coming from.  Botox has been very successful in decreasing hyperhidrosis in the hands and armpits.  It should work as well in the scalp.  Good luck.
