About Botox®

BOTOX® Therapeutic has been used to address Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) for over 20 years with great success and is Health Canada approved.

As an alternative to chemical topical antiperspirants, BOTOX® is safe and highly effective. We use BOTOX® in our Burnaby practice for sweat management in the under arms, forehead, palms and scalp. BOTOX® Therapeutic may be covered up to 100% by many private insurance plans and often those that have this type of coverage only have to pay an injection fee.

How It Works

BOTOX® stops excessive sweating by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the nerve endings which turns off the stimulation of the sweat gland. Once our Physicians have determined your sweat intensity they will decide the recommended dose of BOTOX® per area. One of our certified registered nurses will administer the BOTOX® into the desired treatment area. Comfort measures, such as a Zimmer cooler or a topical numbing cream are available if needed

Before I tried Botox for sweating I could not take my jacket off at work for fear of the sweat stains on my shirt.

Beautiful facility and amazing staff. From the moment you arrive, the staff is so professional and pleasant that you know this is the best clinic in Vancouver (and maybe the world). PRP and underarm Botox from Lydia – I was a little scared at first but she made a painless experience.

FAQs

Is the treatment painful?: This treatment is relatively quick and the discomfort is minimal as we pre chill the treatment area with the Zimmer cooler, pre-ice and we have both topical numbing and oral medication available should you desire them.
How does Botox® stop me from sweating?: Unlike topical agents, Botox® addresses the excessive sweating at the source by temporarily blocking the nerves that are responsible for activating your sweat glands.
What is the downtime with this treatment?: Due to the delivery system of Botox® there is always a possibility of bruising so you should factor this into your social calendar when planning your treatment.
How many units will I need and is it safe to have that much Botox®?: The average underarm treatment for excessive sweating is usually 200 – 300 units of Botox®. Botox® is approved by Health Canada as a treatment for excessive sweating and is considered perfectly safe when administered by a licensed professional.
How long do the results last?: The average relief of Botox® for excessive sweating in the underarm area is approximately 7 months with most clients repeating their treatment after 6 months to ensure they never return to their full sweat level.
