I have excessive sweating problem and tried several remedies but without success. One of my doctors suggested me to try Botox. I know that Botox Cosmetic can last for 4-6 months, but how long does Botox last when it is used for excessive sweating?

Welcome to the forum Nnaya, In good hands, Botox injection can be a great option for treating hyperhidrosis, (excessive sweating). Just make sure to consult the doctor who is highly trained in Botox for hyperhidrosis. Although longevity of Botox injection may vary with individual, it can usually last anywhere from 4 months to 6 months.
Botox for hyperhidrosis works very nicely and successfully. It is most ideal for hyperhidrosis of the underarms, less desirable and more painful for hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet. For obvious reasons, people are reluctant to have Botox injected into the palms and soles of the feet - which are sensitive areas of the body. Regardless of the area injected, it has an immediate effect and lasts for as long as 6 months.
