A patient asks: Can Botox treat my sweating problem if I haven’t been diagnosed with hyperhidrosis?
I told her that Botox can stop excessive sweating for anyone. Botox is commonly used on patients diagnosed with hyperhidrosis, as well as those who merely believe their sweating to be excessive. Some patients have sought this treatment for special occasions. Prior to a wedding, brides want us to treat their armpits and grooms receive treatment for their palms.
The result lasts for 6 months and almost every single patient is happy with the result. The downside is, it can get expensive, so people on a tight budget may want to try over the counter treatments like DrySol first.
