Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

I use Botox for hyperhidrosis of the face. If treated appropriately, the Botox will have dual action and can also improve the wrinkles.  It is a wonderful treatment that I regularly perform in my Los Angeles plastic surgery practice. Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian

In the face, I would recommend starting with 1 unit for square cm.  If that is not effective enough, we can add another unit per square cm.

Young R. Cho, MD, PhD · Answer

I would recommend 1 to 2 units of Botox spaced evenly about a centimeter apart on the areas that you feel are sweating. On the nose, therefore, I would choose approximately 10 units of Botox to stop sweating on the nose. On the four head, approximately 10 units along the hairline. Ultimately you will need to see how you respond to this dosing. Additional units may be needed or if you continue to sweat or if you find that the duration of relief is short.

Mario Marzola, MD · Answer

When injected correctly, botox can be used to treat wrinkles and excessive sweating in the face. I would reccommed consulting an injector to get their advice in person.

Ken Landow, MD · Answer

rather than injections deeper into the muscles, botox is placed high in the skin when used for excessive sweating...while most ofter facial hyperhidrosis originates from just behind the frontal hairline, it can arise anywhere...and the treatment must be targeted to the exact site...and yes even the nose can be treated...interestingly when placed high in the skin, botox seems to have little if any effect on muscle movement and wrinkles...of course there's always a wee bit of spread so you may be doubly pleased...depending on size, the nose might need between 6-12 units
