Hyperhidrosis Botox

What Is Hyperhidrosis Botox?

Hyperhidrosis Botox is an injection of Botox placed shallowly into the layer of skin where the underarm sweat glands sit. It interrupts the nerve message that switches those glands on, so sweat production inside the treated zone drops. Dryness builds across the first two weeks, holds steady for several months, then fades as the nerve endings regenerate, which is why the treatment is repeated. Botox carries FDA approval for severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis, the underarm form that persists without another medical condition behind it.

Hyperhidrosis Botox at Beauty and Fly

Hyperhidrosis injections at the Bronxville and Bridgehampton offices are placed by Catherine Curtin, MSN, FNP-C. The zone is mapped from the pattern you describe and what the examination shows. The first treatment covers the center of that zone, and units are added at the two-week review if part of it still sweats.

Is Hyperhidrosis Botox Right for You?

• Hyperhidrosis Botox suits adults whose underarm sweating is there most of the day, or soaks through within minutes under stress, and whose prescription-strength antiperspirant has not controlled it.

• It treats constant underarm sweating, sweating that arrives with stress, and one underarm that sweats more than the other. Asymmetry is common, so each side is mapped and dosed separately.

• Sweating that began suddenly, wakes you at night, or arrived with a new medication or a thyroid change is worked up first, so the medication list is reviewed at the consultation.

What Are the Benefits of Hyperhidrosis Botox?

Most patients find the treated underarm stays dry through a warm room, a workout and the kind of meeting that used to call for a change of clothes. Temperature regulation everywhere else on the body is unchanged. Fitted pieces and anything that shows a mark usually come back into rotation. The injections take a small part of the visit, and no part of the day afterward needs rearranging. Neuromodulators are $15.50 per unit, and the unit range for your underarms is given once the zone has been seen in person. Consultations are complimentary and there is no deposit.
