Will botox prevent sweating?

Yes but it's pricey: Botox-a can be injected in the armpits to temporarily prevent hyperhydrosis (sweaty armpits). I typically use 50units (allergan) per pit and the duration of effect is around 4-5months. Insurance coverage is difficult to get so patients are often "out of pocket".

Where it is injected: Botox can be injected into the armpits in a grid-like pattern every 3/8 inch or so, and will cost between $500-$1000, but can last for 6 months or longer. It takes a few days to as long as a week or 2 to "work" so don't wait til the night before the important event!

As previously mentioned it takes several days to start working and lasts about 6 months. When injected into the palms the patient needs to know there may be mild transient weakness of grip that likely won't bother a sedentary person but may trouble a laborer.
