Botox for hyperhidrosis is a non-surgical treatment that helps manage excessive sweating, particularly in areas such as the feet. Hyperhidrosis occurs when the sweat glands become overactive, leading to persistent moisture that can cause discomfort, odor, and even fungal infections. Botox, commonly known for cosmetic use, is also effective in reducing sweat production by blocking the nerve signals that trigger the sweat glands. When used for hyperhidrosis of the feet, a podiatrist carefully injects small amounts of Botox into targeted areas of the skin. The procedure is quick and typically takes less than an hour. Patients may experience mild discomfort during the injections, but the treatment does not require any downtime. Results can be seen within a few days, with full effects usually lasting several months. This procedure is considered cosmetic and is not covered by insurance. The cost of the office visit is separate from the procedure and may or may not be covered, depending on your insurance plan. If you are struggling with excessive foot sweating and want to explore non-invasive treatment options, it is suggested that you see a podiatrist to discuss whether Botox may be appropriate for your condition.
