When most people think of Botox, they think of smoother foreheads and wrinkle-free smiles. But this popular injectable isn’t just for cosmetic touch-ups. Botox has several powerful medical uses—and for many patients, it offers life-changing relief from chronic conditions like excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and migraines.

At Dermatology Associates, we’re proud to offer Botox treatments not only for aesthetic concerns but also for these often-overlooked medical issues. Here’s what you should know:

Botox for Hyperhidrosis: Tame Excessive Sweating

If you’ve ever felt embarrassed by underarm sweat that soaks through clothing—no matter the weather or your activity level—you’re not alone. Hyperhidrosis affects millions and can seriously impact self-esteem and daily comfort.

How Botox helps:

Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerves that trigger your sweat glands. When injected into areas like the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet, it significantly reduces sweating for several months at a time.

Treatment highlights:

Non-surgical and minimally invasive

Results typically last 4–6 months

Often covered by insurance with a diagnosis of hyperhidrosis

Noticeable improvement within days

Botox for Chronic Migraines: Relief Without Daily Pills

Chronic migraines are more than just bad headaches—they’re a neurological condition that can disrupt your ability to work, concentrate, or enjoy daily life.

How Botox helps:

Botox has been FDA-approved for the treatment of chronic migraines in adults. It’s believed to block pain signals and prevent the activation of certain nerve pathways involved in migraine attacks.

Treatment highlights:

Involves a series of small injections around the head and neck

Administered every 12 weeks

Reduces the frequency and severity of migraine days

Can complement other migraine management strategies

More Than Just a Cosmetic Fix

While Botox continues to be a go-to solution for softening lines and wrinkles, its growing list of therapeutic uses makes it an even more valuable tool for improving quality of life.

At Dermatology Associates, Dr. Sonya Johnson and our experienced team take the time to evaluate each patient’s unique needs—whether cosmetic or medical—and develop personalized treatment plans using trusted tools like Botox.
