Two months ago (mid December 2018), I received 100 units of Botox for Hyperhidrosis, the Botox didn’t completely get rid of all sweating but, it did reduce to very little sweating. Two months down the line, it is now ineffective and I am sweating excessively again. My doctor informed me that it would last between 6-12 months, any idea why it has only lasted two? Thank you!

Answer: Botox for hyperhidrosis lasted 2 months When I treat hyperhidrosis under the arms, I normally use 50 units of Botox for each side. Normally, I do find that it can be effective there for 6-12 months. There may be a couple of reasons whey your treatment was only effective for 2 months. First, the injection technique could affect the results. The injection needs to be done fairly superficially and not too deep. Second, the dosage may be too low for you. Some people do need more than others to get longer lasting results.

Answer: Botox for Hyperhidrosis lasted for 2 months. Why did it only last 2 Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Unfortunately each patient metabolizes Botox at different rates with some getting 4+ months of results. That said it would be important to see how many units and in what concentration you received them to get the best idea on how to proceed with future treatments.
