Thanks a lot for this video, i have been suffering from facial and scalp hyperhidrosis for 6 years and every year i get botox injection
Wonderful :)
Hi
Can you please tell me where they inject on the face as far I know you can’t inject on the cheeks please tell me how you get it done
@@JohnSmith-oo3ey Hii
In the upper side of the forehead and the scalp area
Mine did not work. About I think 22 units of Botox on scalp and face 😢😢
Thank you for this video. Will you be adjusting the dose of your treatment or use a different injection technique if the patient is elderly with really thinned out subcutaneous fat on the forehead (focal hyperhidrosis)?
Not at all. There’s no risk with thin skin. If anything it can help thicken skin and improve it no matter the age even though the goal is for sweating.
There is compensatory sweat after treatment?
Hi doctor
I called many clinics to get Botox for hiperhidrosis sweating on the face some of them they don’t do face bucause they said there is a risk the muscle won’t move again permanently we can’t inject the face but only can do forehead and they said Botox for hiperhidrosis is different with Botox for wrinkles, and most of them only do foreheads but I have the sweat all over my face is it okey to find someone do the full face,can you give me a solution please I’m waiting for your reply thank you so much
Yes, it took me a lot of work over a few years to be able to get the exact dose so there’s no paralysis risk whatsoever. I’m able to do the whole face. What I am doing is quite unique.
@@samlammdHi, I'm a doctor from Ireland. I've been doing aesthetics for a while now but this is the first I've heard of CFH treatment with Botox. I've done a quite a bit of research and can't find anyone else doing it this, at least not in Ireland or the UK. It would be great to be trained in this procedure as I've had a quite a few come into my clinic complaining specifically of middle and lower face Hyperhidrosis affecting QoL.
You're in Dallas right? I need to make an appointment asap.
Yes
@@samlammdwhat if it’s not just facial but my armpits middle of my chest and the center of my back
Hello Dr
One question if you don’t mind,
I have a fair skin when I get pimples later on it becomes a permanent spot on my face very sensitive skin, so the question is this injections they use for Botox does it leave any spots on the skin ?
I appreciate your answer
Thank you very much
Should not. These are tiny needles
I dont have craniofacial hyperhidrosis before, after using dermaroller for acne scars with .1 mm my face experience this , what to do doc ?
I’ve never heard of that causing it, but I would do the treatment that I am describing in this video.
I have such debilitating facial hyperhidrosis but I’m struggling to find someone to do it in London who I can trust. I’m worried about changes in appearance and now it’s coming to winter I’m wondering if I can postpone getting this treatment. But at my worst I’m dripping and pouring with sweat.
So sorry
Did you ever go through with the Botox? And how were your results?
@@appleget Hey! You messaged one week after I had it. Unfortunately the doctor froze the upper third of my forehead after assuring me movement and appearance would be unaffected. The bottom two thirds of my forehead started compensating and became extremely wrinkled! I am really hoping it wears off soon. The sweating reduced about 50% but the side effects are way worse. Perhaps a doctor with a better technique would not have given me this side effect but I went to a reputable clinic and other people had positive experiences. I don’t think I’d get Botox again for this issue as my eyebrows are now drooping too. Big regret and financial cost. I asked all the right questions beforehand so can’t blame myself.
Is there a “kill 2 birds w 1 stone “ treatment? I suffer from excessive sweating in my face and it definitely negatively affects me. I also wouldn’t mind some wrinkle reduction (I just turned 43). My primary concern is the sweating, but if I had less wrinkles I wouldn’t mind. Haha
actually yes. the treatment with MesoBotox should help quality of skin, wrinkles, and sweating. for the upper face it is not as powerful as traditional concentrated botox but it is better for sweating and can definitely help with wrinkles.
Doctor i have acne scars and also craniofacial hyperhidrosis .. im going to do laser treatment for acne scars whether it will conceal my face hyperhyrodis or it will worsen the condition?
The funny thing is this Botox treatment would fix both the acne scars as well as the hyperhidrosis.
@@samlammd yeah filler injection but it is self limiting 🙂
How many units of botox is necessary for face and head?
@@I_understand it all depends on how wide and area. It can be as little as 20 units well placed or it could be as much as 100 units. Distribution and depth are more important.
What kind of dr do I go to for this? Endocrinologist?
The problem is almost 99.9% of doctors don’t do this. I would google it. Probably cosmetic.
Dermatology

I am 18 and facial hyperhidrosis is killing me. my hair gets all wet (I have fine hair so it sucks )and it looks so bad. I don’t want to go outside and I live in India it just makes it more worse.
Should I get Botox at this young age knowing I will have to get it every six months ? Is it safe ?
Pls reply
In my opinion it is safe and will help you a lot
I am also suffering from same condition...
I am also from India
Did u take botox ? was it worth it?
@@TushTat16 nope i talked to my family dermatologist he obv didn’t understand my situation and said it won’t really help for facial hyperhidrosis
@@hell5870 that's the problem man
Nobody understand our condition...
@@TushTat16 yeah bro i was just ignored
They said “pasina hi toh hai”
Idk if i can trust a doctor who wears glasses like that lol
@@yumnab2321 suspicious, isn’t it?
I have hyperthyroidism I’m suffering from very facial sweating
@@esmailgamile I can help.
How much does it cost for scalp botox only?
Sorry I don’t post prices here
Can be pricy though 😢
Getting botox wont make my face puffy? I just want to do this to remove this sweat but not so that my face looks like a balloon.
It is not a filler, so no added volume or puffiness.
Wow, making the excess sweating stop within 2 days was so much more than I expected, I went with what I talked about last week and after the first day or so I was very surprised to start feeling much more comfortable and dry! I went ahead and go'ogled the latest by Cynthia Yulesin and after 72 hours I now sweat like a “normal” person lol
Who is Cynthia please?
