FAQs

1What is the cost of this treatment?
Hyperhidrosis treatment is not covered by Medical Services Plan (MSP). Many private insurance plans may cover BOTOX Therapeutic up to 100%, and those who have this type of coverage frequently often have to pay only an injection fee.

2Is this safe? Don’t I need to sweat?
You are undoubtedly sweating excessively if you have been diagnosed with hyperhidrosis. As a result, being able to reduce your sweat levels may be beneficial to your health.
The solution is a little different if you merely sweat a little more than other people, or if you’re annoyed by your perspiration but don’t have a specific problem with it. We all need to work up a sweat. It’s a crucial aspect of our body’s ability to maintain a constant temperature.
Sweat glands, on the other hand, are found all over our bodies. So, if sweating in your armpits, hands, or feet causes odour, discomfort, or embarrassment, it’s probably reasonable to limit sweating in those areas.

3I don’t have hyperhidrosis, but can I have this treatment to reduce my sweating for convenience?
Absolutely! Anyone can have Botox Therapeutic treatment to help with perspiring. Results typically last 4-6 months.
