Yes, Botox (botulinum toxin) can be used to treat excessive sweating in the face and neck area. It works by blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands, and results can last anywhere from three to ten months depending on the treatment area. Experiences from MyHyperhidrosisTeam members are mixed when it comes to facial and scalp sweating specifically. One member shared that Botox worked better than anything else they had tried, getting injections every three months. However, another member found it worked well for hands and underarms but not for the face and scalp.

It's worth having an open conversation with a dermatologist about whether Botox is the right option for your specific situation. They may also suggest trying topical antiperspirants first before moving on to injections.
