Stop Excessive Sweating with Botox For Hyperhidrosis

Most people are familiar with Botox Cosmetic as a breakthrough wrinkle cure. But many are now seeking Botox treatments as a remedy for hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. Dr. Lin, Dr. Farley-Loftus and Dr. Vuong have performed this procedure for many patients from Summit, Livingston, Florham Park, New Providence, and throughout northern New Jersey at their skin care center, Dermatology Consultants of Short Hills.

How Can Botox Treat Excessive Sweating?

Botox first gained FDA approval in 1989 for the treatment of crossed eyes, vocal cord spasms and other facial spasms. As more research was conducted, dermatologists learned that it could be used to alleviate muscle spasms in people with cerebral palsy, alleviate migraine headaches and even reduce hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. Now Botox injections for hyperhidrosis are a common procedure performed by dermatologists.

“Individuals with primary axillary hyperhidrosis — excessive underarm sweating — produce four to five times more sweat than most individuals.”

Sweating through shirts, body odor and damp discomfort become a daily routine at work or school. Injections of Botox for sweating work by reducing sweat production in the treatment area.

How Long Does Botox for Hyperhidrosis Last?

The typical person can expect results that last six to nine months.

How Many Botox Treatments for Hyperhidrosis Will I Need?

Once or twice per year treatment can virtually eliminate this problem.

Are Botox Injections for Excessive Sweating Safe?

Under the supervision of a board-certified dermatologist near you, Botox for hyperhidrosis is a safe, well-tolerated treatment.
