Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) is a medical condition that BOTOX® is able to treat. BOTOX® is an FDA-approved treatment for excessive underarm sweating when topical agents do not work. BOTOX® blocks the chemical transmitter that causes sweating and is used mainly on cases of armpit sweating.

Injection of BOTOX® into the armpit areas can effectively treat excessive sweating for about three to six months at a time. The undesirable crow’s feet.

BOTOX® treatment takes no more than 10 minutes to administer and requires no anesthetic. With just a few tiny injections, its results can last up to four months.
