Your Questions About Hyperhidrosis Botox
Maria asks…
How long does it take botox for palmar hyperhidrosis to take effect?
I got injected a week and a half ago and sweating was reduced a bit but it didn’t completely stop like I expected it to. Does it take longer for my hands to completely stop sweating or is botox not that effective?
Brian answers:
It should usually take 2-7 days to see full result. However, my doctor did say that it may be slower for some people, so 2 weeks tops. I just had my palms done too 3 days ago. Still havn’t achieved 100% dry, but some major improvements. Good luck.
Mark asks…
Has anyone had botox for hyperhidrosis?
I have plantar, axillary, and palmer hyperhidrosis. I finally wanted to get it treated. It is pretty severe. I was wondering if anyone has had this done. If so, was the treatment successful? If you live in Canada, will the treatment be fully covered by health insurance?
Brian answers:
Botox for hyperhidrosis works very well, and the effects can last up to six months, before another treatment is needed. Unfortunately, I practice in the U.S., so cannot tell you whether it’s a covered service in Canada.

Jenny asks…
Have you had botox for hyperhidrosis?
Have you got hyperhidrosis?
If yes, what treatment do you use?
and
Have you tried botox in areas affected? Does it help? How bad does it hurt?
.
Brian answers:
I haven’t no, so I don’t have any treatment.
Botox causes localised paralysis which disallows the secretion of sweat from sweat glands.
It’s apparently quite effective.
Sandra asks…
Botox + hyperhidrosis?
I have just been offered free botox for my hyperhidrosis via the NHS on a pilot scheme for my area, however I know it is already accepted in many PCT areas, free of charge. Has anyone had it? what are the processes? Just one consultation? Any one have problems getting it?
Brian answers:
I’ve never had it but heard good results.
It’s a great alternative to ETS surgery.
Hopefully with a little anesthetic you’ll feel no pain from the botox injections.
Richard asks…
does insurance cover botox for hyperhidrosis?
i know it doesn’t cover it for the cosmetic one, but does it cover the one for your armpits? i’m just wondering, btw my insurance company is sun life. if you guys have gotten botox, i wanna hear all about it. so type as much as you want, and id really appreciate it if you answered the question, thanks (:
Brian answers:
You’d have to call and ask. I do think hyperhidrosis is a cosmetic issue, and not medically necessary to treat. Inconvenient, yes. Life/health threatening, no.
James asks…
Is Botox for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) safe during pregnancy?
I have a condition called hyperhidrosis, which is excessive sweating. I have had botox injections for this bothersome problem in my past with great results. It lasts for 6-8 mos and no sweating at all.
My concern is that we are trying conceive. I have taken a pregnancy test to confirm we are not pregnant, but in theory it’s possible to occur at any time and I don’t want to do something that might cause birth defects to my unborn child.
Does anyone know if botox is safe during pregnancy? Has anyone had it done during pregnancy and what were the results? I really need this procedure… it’s not for vanity purposes, but I have a real and embarrassing condition that can be controlled with this procedure. However, it is not worth it if Botox will damage my child. I would never forgive myself!
Please, if anyone has had an experience or knows the answer I would love to hear from you!
Brian answers:
It’s best just to tell your doctor that you are trying to conceive and ask s/he what the effect of the injections could be on a fetus.
