Botox For Hyperhidrosis Reviews
Botox works great for hyperhidrosis but there is also a permanent fix.
Botox works just great for hyperhidrosis. I have been getting Botox injections to my axilla for over 10 years and I have many hyperhidrosis patients that come in for injections.
Usually, the first few injections last about 6 months but then they seem to last longer and longer. I get injected about one a year.
Botox for axillary hyperhidrosis has been FDA approved since 2004 but I was using Botox “off lable” way before then.
There is a permanent option called subcutaneous removal of axillary sweat glands.
I’ve been performing this procedure for a couple of years and patient satisfaction is very high. I make a couple on short incisions in the underarm area and carefully scrape the glands off the undersurface of the skin.

Much safer than surgery in my opinion. (Daniel J. Ladd Jr., DO, Austin Dermatologist)
