Botox injection for sweating?

Question

what are the pros and cons? will my insurance cover this? has anyone had this or know anyone who's had an botox injection for sweating before?

Answer 1

i have never had it but apparantly after doing some research i have found out the following hope it is of use the treatment  has been effective in 95 percent of people ,risks are minimal the only complications from the injections are tiny bruises that fade within a few days there is no risk of muscle weakness or numbness or permanent change in the axillary skin ,with one treatment most people maintain 5-6 months of dryness,underarm sweating will decrease by 95 per cent within 48hrs and the full effect will be seen within a week.

But i guess in my opinion any treatment should be properly researched aswell as the doctor who will be doing the treatment cause nothing i guess can be guaranteed and safety should be first.

Answer 2

you will have to consult a Dr, more than likely an endocrinologist, they will let you know if your insurance will cover it, Dr offices have ways of wording things so that they are more likely to be approved by insurance companies than if you were to just call them up and ask. The Dr will let you know what the pros and cons are of the procedure and what risks are involved.
