BOTOX: Hyperhidrosis
BOTOX® is also effective for treatment of excess sweating. Many people suffer from overactive sweat glands of the underarms, hands and feet. Traditional topical or surgical approaches to this embarrassing problem have been ineffective or have significant side effects.
Now BOTOX® can be injected directly into the areas of sweating, and reduce sweating for 6-12 months. It is safe, consistently effective, and well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.
Although not covered by OHIP, most private insurance plans will cover all or part of the costs of treatment. Dr. Benjamin Barankin performs all BOTOX injections himself.
BOTOX® has also been used effectively to treat some migraine and tension headaches.
