Excessive sweating, known as Hyperhydrosis is a very treatable condition. It is described as sweating beyond what
is necessary to cool the body. The most common areas affected are the hands and underarms. Hyperhydrosis can
have a serious impact on self-confidence, personal relationships and even career success.
At DF Rx, we offer BOTOX® injections which can help to eliminate sweat in specifically targeted areas, such as the
underarms. This is a proven safe and effective treatment – approved by Health Canada.
• BOTOX® injections consist of treating the affected area – using an ultra-fine needle – with localized
injections.
• Since the treatment is well tolerated, the underarms can be treated without anaesthesia.
• Treatment results (a sweat-free underarm) will last betw een 4 to 7 m onths. It generally eliminates
odour as well.
• Repeat injections should be administered when effects from previous injections subside.
• Most private drug plans will help to cover the cost of Botox® for the treatment of Hyperhydrosis.
