Excessive sweating in areas such as the armpits, hands, feet, and face, commonly known as hyperhidrosis, is a problem that directly impacts the self-esteem and well-being of those who suffer from it.
Simple daily situations, like greeting someone or wearing light-colored clothing, can become real challenges. Although the condition has no cure, the good news is that there are effective treatments to control the symptoms and restore the patient’s confidence.
One of the most recommended methods by specialists is the application of botulinum toxin (the famous Botox), which temporarily blocks the nerves responsible for excessive sweat production. The procedure is quick, safe, and offers results that can last for months.
If you suffer from excessive sweating and want to know how much Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis costs, keep reading! We’ll show you average prices, how the treatment works, and the benefits of this solution.
How much does Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis cost?
The cost of Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis can vary depending on several factors such as geographic location, the clinic or professional performing the procedure, the amount of product used, and the extent of the treatment.
On average, the price varies according to the treated area but generally ranges between R$1,500 and R$2,500 per session.
What is axillary hyperhidrosis?
According to the Brazilian Society of Dermatology, hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized primarily by excessive sweating due to overactive sweat glands, often occurring without an apparent cause.
This problem can have genetic or pathological origins. Usually, hyperhidrosis intensifies during periods of intense heat or emotional stress, but generally, people with hyperhidrosis sweat all the time.
Is Botox for hyperhidrosis permanent?
Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis is not permanent and usually needs to be repeated to maintain its results.
The effect of Botox in reducing excessive sweating lasts on average between 6 and 12 months, depending on the individual.
After this period, a new evaluation and application are necessary to continue controlling the symptoms.
It is important to follow the doctor’s recommendations to determine the correct and appropriate interval between sessions.
Remember that when treatment is performed by a medical professional, you should check with your accountant or health insurance provider whether the costs can be deducted from your income tax or reimbursed.
Additionally, some clinics and professionals offer installment payment options or treatment packages to make the cost more affordable.
