Excessive Sweating

If you struggle with excessive sweating, you likely have tried wearing breathable fabrics, using absorbent pads, avoiding triggers (such as spicy foods or caffeine) and strong/prescription antiperspirants.

Botulinum toxin injections (Botox) can be an effective treatment for focal hyperhidrosis, particularly in the underarms. Botox blocks the nerves that stimulate sweat glands, providing temporary relief for several months.

Some health plans will cover the cost of the medication. And, as this is considered a medical condition, you can keep your receipts to submit to your accountant at tax time as a medical expense.
