Perspiration is no doubt a necessity for the human body as it removes the toxins from the body but when our sweat glands start producing excess amounts of sweat, it becomes annoying and unbearable for us. This condition is known as hyperhidrosis. Having wet underarms and stinking smell all the time is obviously unacceptable for everyone. The smelly and stinky underarms make you cautious and greatly affect your personal and social life. It isolates you and prevents you from attending social gatherings. The one who suffers from this condition wants to get rid of it as soon as possible because it’s very irritating and annoying. Therefore, Botox – the miracle drug of the 21st century – is gaining continuous popularity as the treatment of excessive sweating.
Botox treatment is no doubt famous for hyperhidrosis (especially underarm sweating) but most of people consider it an expensive treatment and hesitate to go for it. You might also be the one who is considering Botox treatment for underarm sweating but before opting for it you want to know its cost.
So, let’s discuss the cost of the treatment along with the factors that affect it.
Factors Affecting Cost
The cost of Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis is not the same for all and its variation depends on a number of factors. Some general factors that can influence the cost of the treatment are given below;
- Expertise of dermatologist
- Clinic charges
- Geographical location
Generally, the average cost of Botox treatment for each area lies between $350 to $500. It may also be recovered by your insurance policy as hyperhidrosis – excessive sweating – is considered a medical condition. Above mentioned are some general factors that affect the cost of the treatment but there are some specific factors too that affect the cost significantly. These factors include;
Cost per unit
Amount of Botox is measured in units. It comes in a vial and each vial contains 100 units of botox. The units of botox required for the treatment of excessive sweating in each armpit depend on the severity of condition. Some dermatologists charge for the Botox treatment on the basis of units being used. The number of units required lies between 80 and 150 and the average cost of one unit can be somewhere between $10 and $16. Sometimes, dermatologists also charge for the entire vial for one treatment because once the vial is opened, it can be used for a limited time period only.
Cost per area
Some dermatologists charge for the Botox treatment on the basis of the treatment area. Sometimes the cost of botox treatment for excessively sweating armpits is kept the same. However, most of the time, it varies from patient to patient.
Conclusion
While determining the cost of Botox for underarm sweating, you must also keep in mind that the results of treatment are temporary and you will have to pay for the follow-ups also. It is not easy to quote an exact price here because all the factors mentioned above influence the cost. The severity of the condition also varies from patient to patient.
