Quick answers

Hyperhidrosis Botox questions

Is sweat Botox painful?

Very fine needles are used and the area can be numbed first, so most patients feel only brief pinpricks.

Botox or miraDry — which is better for me?

Botox is quick and temporary, ideal for trying a treatment or for a short summer fix. miraDry permanently removes sweat and odor glands in one session, so it costs less over time than repeated injections.

Can Botox be used on areas other than the underarms?

Botox can also be used for sweaty palms, feet and other areas. Your doctor will advise on the right dose and area during consultation.
