Can BOTOX®
Treatment Help?
Yes, it’s the same formulation (Botulinum Toxin Type A) from the same company (Allergan, Inc.) as BOTOX® Cosmetic, but in a treatment designed especially for the specific medical need of excessive underarm sweating when antiperspirants fail. BOTOX® was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) nearly 20 years ago, and it has been used to treat a variety of medical conditions. The same formulation with dosing specific to excessive underarm sweating when antiperspirants fail was approved in 2004.
BOTOX® neurotoxin treatment helps control excessive underarm sweating by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don’t receive chemical signals, the excessive sweating stops.
