I have hyperhidrosis, excess sweating
Q. I have hyperhidrosis, excess sweating. It occurs mostly when I am around women, or in other stressful situations. The sweating is mostly under my arms, but I do have problems with my back and face also. I have read that Botox can be used to treat the symptoms. How effective is it and how long will it last for?
A. Thank you for your inquiry. Botulinum toxin is indeed a very good treatment for hyperhidrosis. The duration of the effect of the treatment does depend on the severity of the problem, as well as the dosage used during the treatment, and can be anywhere between 3 months and 9 months.
