Hyperhidrosis means excessive sweating, typically in the armpits. This is very effectively treated with tiny injections of Botox into the hair-bearing skin of the armpits.

Increasingly, women without true hyperhidrosis but with normal sweating are having their armpits treated with Botox injections. The Botox treatment in the armpit eliminates sweating, and for many women also eliminates the need for deodorants, slightly. The treatment only takes a few minutes. The results last nine months on average and the treatment in Manhattan costs approximately $1000.
