* Purified protein for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
BOTOX® has been used with increasing frequency by doctors for over 20 years for more and more medical conditions. BOTOX® is now used to treat excessive sweating of the forehead, scalp, underarms, palms and feet. It also allows many people to experience blissful breaks from migraine and tension headaches.
BOTOX® benefits:
- no more sweating in the area treated for 4 to 18 months
- the cost of the BOTOX® is usually covered under Extended Health Medical Benefit programs
How BOTOX® for hyperhidrosis works:
The procedure is fairly simple. A small volume of BOTOX® solution is injected into the affected area through a very fine needle. The needle is placed just under the skin. You will receive multiple injections based on your doctor’s assessment of the area and condition to be treated.
What to expect from BOTOX® hyperhidrosis treatments:
Treatment times range between 10 and 30 minutes depending on the area being treated. You should notice a significant reduction in underarm sweating within one week of your first treatment. The duration of a “sweat-free interval” increases by using higher doses of BOTOX®. Studies have shown an absence of sweating ranges between four months and 18 months.
Botox Therapeutic is covered by most private insurance plans. If the cost of your Botox is covered by your plan, we will only charge you an injection fee. Please call the clinic for a consultation – individuals with hyperhidrosis find their new sweat-free status literally unbelievable!
