Numerous studies have shown that Botox is very effective for treatment of excess sweating. Generally, most patients are free of sweating for about 3-6 months after a single Botox treatment. As many as one third of individuals are free of excessive sweating for at least one year. Unfortunately, Botox only works in less than 20% of people- and it is hard to know beforehand who these people are.

I have heard that Botox works for excess sweating. Do you recommend it?
Over the past 50 years, many drugs and chemicals have been developed to treat sweating- but all have failed. Recently Botox was approved by the FDA for use in the treatment of sweating. Clinical studies have shown that Botox injections can significantly decrease sweating. Botox is unique among treatments for excessive sweating because it acts directly at the origin of the sweat glands. It blocks the release of chemicals which stimulate sweat secretion.
