At Portland Face Doctor, we offer patients BOTOX treatment for excessive sweating.
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can manifest under the arms and can be embarrassing and stressful. Deodorants, antiperspirants, and oral medications can often help, but for some, the problem persists despite routine treatment. In recent years it was discovered that BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® injected in skin containing sweat glands actually prevents sweat production. It achieves this by relaxing the tiny muscles responsible for releasing sweat. BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are now FDA-approved for treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis, or severe underarm sweating, and are very popular with patients tired of high dry-cleaning bills during the summer.
