Hyperhidrosis, also known as excessive sweating, is a condition that plagues many and causes an uncomfortable wetness in the underarms, feet, and hands. Even the strongest antiperspirants sometimes can’t solve hyperhidrosis. That’s where The Sweat Shop comes in!
Just like Tox can temporarily “freeze” muscles from forming unwanted lines, it can also treat unwanted sweating. OnabotulinumtoxinA is a natural, purified protein with the ability to temporarily block the secretion of the chemical responsible for “turning on” the body’s sweat glands. By blocking this chemical messenger, botulinum toxin “turns off” sweating at the area where it has been injected.
When used to treat underarms, Tox has been shown to result in an 82-87% decrease in sweating. Results start to be noticeable approximately 2 to 4 days after treatment with the full effects usually noted within 2 weeks. Dryness typically lasts 4 to 12 months, but some studies have found it can last as long as 14 months.
The cost of Tox treatments for hyperhidrosis will vary depending upon the size of the body area you need to be treated, and whether insurance will cover any of the cost for you. A general estimate of the cost for two underarms is about $1,000. Botulinum toxin injections do not cure hyperhidrosis; your symptoms will go away gradually (usually in about a week) and return gradually. Follow-up injections are required to maintain dryness. These repeat injections may be necessary at intervals varying from 7 to 16 months.
