How does Botox for Hyperhidrosis work?

Botox for hyperhidrosis works by targeting and temporarily disabling the sweat glands in areas prone to excessive sweating, such as the underarms and hands. Administered by the experienced professionals at Coachlight medspa, this treatment provides significant relief for individuals suffering from hyperhidrosis. Here’s how it effectively reduces unwanted sweat production:

• Blocks Nerve Signals: Botox injections block the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands, effectively reducing sweat production in the treated area.
• Precision Application: At our clinic, Botox is precisely injected into areas with excessive sweating, ensuring targeted results without affecting surrounding areas.
• Quick Procedure: The treatment is quick, with minimal discomfort, and no downtime, allowing for an immediate return to daily activities.
• Long-Lasting Relief: Results can last several months, providing extended relief from hyperhidrosis symptoms.
• Safety and Efficacy: Botox for hyperhidrosis is FDA-approved and has been proven safe and effective in numerous clinical studies.

By choosing Coachlight for your hyperhidrosis treatment, you’re opting for a sophisticated approach to managing excessive sweating, ensuring personalized care and state-of-the-art solutions for your comfort and confidence.

What is the treatment with BOTOX like?

The procedure is relatively straightforward. A small volume of BOTOX® solution is injected into the affected underarm area through a very fine needle. The needle is placed just under the skin, so you may experience some injection-related discomfort.

You will receive multiple injections based on your provider’s assessment of the area that needs to be treated. You will notice effects in 24 to 72 hours.

How long does the BOTOX last?

With a 201 day duration response (6.5 months), 1 to 2 BOTOX injections were sufficient for most patients who responded to BOTOX® treatment in the 52-week pivotal clinical study (Source: Clinical Study Response – Allergan)

A BOTOX treatment for the underarms is very effective. One clinical study involved 322 patients with severe underarm sweating.

57 out of 104 BOTOX treated patients (55%) achieved an effective response—compared to only 6 out of 108 treated without BOTOX (6%).

84 out of 104 treated patients (81%) achieved a greater than 50% reduction in sweating—compared to only 44 out of 108 treated without BOTOX (41%).

How much does a BOTOX for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) cost?

During your initial complimentary consultation, your provider will confirm you’re a candidate for the treatment and make a package recommendation based on the number of BOTOX units recommended for the area you’re wanting treated. For perspective and generally speaking, a recommended BOTOX treatment of the underarms requires 100 units for an effective dose and duration.

Are there other treatment options to address excessive sweating?

At Coachlight we also offer the miraDry treatment to address excessive underarm sweating. Unlike a BOTOX treatment, this FDA cleared treatment has permanent results after 1 to 2 sessions. You can learn more about the miraDry option (for underarm sweating only) here.
