If I get botox under my arms for sweating will I sweat more out of different areas of my body?

Thank you very much for your question, as it is a good one.
Botox can successfully be used to eliminate hyperhidrosis, or excessive
sweating, underneath the arms, as well as on the hands and feet. Botox under
the arms will not increase compensatory sweating (in different areas of the
body), you will simply continue to perspire as normal everywhere else. The
benefits from Botox are temporary, and will last up to three months. At this
time, you can elect to have a repeat session to extend your results. My
suggestion is to arrange a consultation appointment with a board certified
plastic surgeon, experienced in using Botox for hyperhidrosis. During this
appointment, he/she can fully explain the technique and determine if it is the
right procedure for your needs.

Thanks for your question. Botox is a very effective treatment for excessive sweating, or hyperhydrosis. When Botox is used in this way, it does not cause extra sweating in other areas of the body, so you will not have to worry about additional sweat under your chest or anywhere else. Best of luck!

Botox is a neurmodulator that can be used to block the sweat glands in your arm pits to resolve hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating). Hyperhydrosis is a medical condition that can cause a patient extreme social discomfort. In my experience, Botox works extremely well to control excess sweating in a variety of areas, including the hands, armpits, feet, groin and forehead. It is unusual for another, untreated area to become sweatier when Botox was used. Botox only affects the area into which it is injected. One treatment will usually last 6-12 months. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who has experience using Botox for hyperhydrosis, as it takes special expertise.
