I treat underarm hyperhydrosis with 100 units of botox. The cost is $1000.50 units is diluted in 3cc of saline per armpit. Topical lidocaine cream is used to anesthetize the armpit prior to treatment. The treatment will last 4 months.I hope this helps.- Dr. Bryson Richards

The general amount used is 50 units per side. Because there is so much used at once visit, most doctors will provide a quantity discount - and you can get loyalty points too so the 'real' price can be less. In most areas it is around $1000 but there can be pre-summer promotions that make it even less. Look around, but look for a practice that has some decent dermatological background.Alegan has a site dedicated to this - it's named Botox for Severe Sweating and you can take a self assessment test. No all heavy sweaters have hyperhidrosis, so it's good to know the difference.

Normally, about 100 units are used between both underarms and the cost is around $1000. This can vary depending on how much product is needed to treat the area. It is always best to have a consultation to determine if you are a good candidate and go over the procedure in more detail to get a more accurate estimate of cost.

Botox works very well to decrease profuse underarm sweating.  Studies have shown that the effect lasts between 6 and 7 months.  Generally, 50 units of Botox is injected per axilla.  The average cost for Botox is $10 to $14 per unit.  Sometimes insurance companies will pay for the treatment if you can prove that other measures have failed.  Discuss with a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist.Trey Aquadro, M.D.Auburn, AL
