Botox Hyperhidrosis

Botox is often associated with cosmetic wrinkle reduction; however, it is also a particularly effective treatment for focal hyperhidrosis (excess sweating).

What is Botox?

Botox is a neurotoxin (onabotulinumA) which acts to block the nerve signals responsible for sweating; thereby, stopping the sweat glands from producing too much sweat. In addition to cosmetic wrinkle reduction, Botox is also used to treat neuromuscular conditions like migraines or muscle spasms.

Who is a good candidate?

Botox has been FDA-approved for people who sweat excessively from their armpits. Signs you may have hyperhidrosis include frequently sweating through clothing, sweating for no apparent reason, or the inability to control sweat with prescription antiperspirants.

Can it be used in other areas?

Botox may also be used off-label* to reduce sweating in other areas, such as the hands, feet, and face.

*Off-label refers to using a medication for something other than what it was approved to treat. In this case, it means that Botox hasn’t gone through the same amount of rigorous testing to confirm its effectiveness and safety for treating excess sweating in other areas of the body.
