Embarrassed by excessive underarm sweating or clammy hands? Botox injections offer a practical, non-invasive alternate to surgical thoracic sympathectomy or excision of axillary sweat glands. Treatments last 6-9 months, and are reimbursable by some insurance plans. Fees schedule is based on the cost of injectables plus the physician’s injection fee.

A number of medical conditions may cause excessive sweating – therefore a medical consultation is suggested before treatment is undertaken. Treatment of the palms will generally require a nerve block injection for patient comfort; underarms can be treated with or without topical analgesic gel.

Other Therapeutic Indications

Botox can also be injected into the masseter muscles to alleviate discomfort from excessive tooth grinding (bruxism), leading to Temporo-Mandibular Joint Dysfunction, and into the forehead muscles as a adjunctive therapy for migrane headaches.
