Do I have Severe Underarm Sweating?
If underarm sweating is significantly interfering with your daily activities and topical agents haven’t worked, you may be a candidate for BOTOX® treatment. First you will want to assess the severity of your condition by completing the Self-Assessment Questionnaire prior to your consultation appointment. BOTOX® is FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating that is not adequately managed with topical agents. BOTOX® treatment helps control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don’t receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops. Treatment effect typically lasts nine months.
