Excessive sweating seriously affects quality of life. Many sufferers must be conscious of their sweating when making decisions about daily activities. Sweating hands, underarms, feet, or face can give the wrong impression in business and personal situations. It can have an emotional, social, and physical impact on sufferers.
Botox injections are appropriate for moderate to severe hyperhidrosis sufferers. Injection with Botox interrupts the signal from the nerve to the sweat gland to reduce the sweating in the area that is affected. The injection is done with a very fine needle and for treatment of the underarms, face and head, anesthesia is often not required as the procedure is virtually painless. For treatment of the hands and feet, local anesthesia is used to avoid injection discomfort. The percent reduction in sweating in clinical studies was 83% in 95% of participants. The effect of treatment can be immediate or take up to a week, with the average duration of effect after a single treatment being 7 months; 30% of patients have effects lasting longer than one year. Your sweating will gradually return, and your own comfort will dictate when you should repeat treatment
Botox Access Program provides coverage for patients with private or third party health insurance. There is a injection fee that has to be paid by the patient. To qualify the patient must have:
- A valid extended third party healthcare plan (other than Green Shield)
- A valid credit card
