Frequently Asked Questions
How effective is BOTOX® for hyperhidrosis?
Clinical studies show that BOTOX® reduces underarm sweating by 80-90% on average. Most patients experience significant improvement in quality of life. Effectiveness may vary by treatment area and individual response.
Is the treatment painful?
Discomfort is typically minimal. The underarms are relatively less sensitive. For hands and feet, topical numbing cream or ice may be used to enhance comfort. Most patients tolerate the treatment well.
How long do results last?
Results typically last 4-6 months for underarm treatment, though some patients report longer duration. Repeat treatments are necessary to maintain sweat reduction. With continued treatment, duration may increase.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including injection site pain, bruising, or compensatory sweating in other areas (rare). Dr. Berens will discuss all potential risks during your consultation.
Does insurance cover hyperhidrosis treatment?
Some insurance plans may cover BOTOX® for hyperhidrosis if medical necessity is documented and conservative treatments have failed. Dr. Berens can provide documentation for insurance submission, though coverage is not guaranteed.
