Botox® Therapeutic
Hyperhidrosis
For the past 4 years, it has also been recognized that BOTOX® can dramatically reduce excessive sweating. If injected under the arms, it can often reduce sweating completely. People usually request re-injecting 6 - 9 months later, even though only some of the sweating has returned. A significant reduction in sweating can be achieved in the hands. Good improvement is usually seen that lasts up to 6 months. Many injections are often needed and anaesthetic, or freezing, may be required before hand treatment.
