Can I Have Botox on my Arms?

Question

I'm not referring to the under arm, but the crevice of my arms which is really wrinkly ... Is it possible, woould it be dangerous given the veins here?

Richard H. Tholen, MD, FACS · Answer

There is NO beneficial effect of Botox for wrinkled arm skin. You would be wasting your money. Even more importantly, you would be undergoing treatment by someone who is either woefully inexperienced or unethical if injection would even be considered for this concern. Just say NO! Best wishes!

Botox is a paralytic agent. When an effect is caused by a muscle, it is possible to make a difference with botulinum toxin. The lines on the arms are often caused by sun damage in the skin and not the result of muscle activity. So no, Botox will not make a difference for this.

Axillary hyperhidrosis of the armpits can be improved with Botox, however, we do not use Botox for wrinkles on the upper arm. Surgery90210

Botox will have almost no effect at all on the wrinkles in your arms, although it would work fairly well if you perspired excessively in this area.

Botox and botox-like injections are to paralize very fine and thin muscles of the face which are responsible for wrinkles of the overlying skin. It would not be effective for the arms with bulcky and volumnous arm' s musculatures. If injected in the blood stream could cause systemic and possibly dangerous side effects. Please do not consider that.
