Botox Helps Treat Excessive Sweating

Schedule a Botox appointment

Botox (botulinum toxin type A) helps with hyperhidrosis by blocking the nerves that stimulate sweat glands.

How The Botox Works:

• Botox is injected directly into the area of excessive sweating (usually underarms, palms, soles, or face).

• It temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine, the chemical that signals sweat glands to activate.

• As a result, sweat production in the treated area is reduced or stopped.

What to Expect from Botox Injections:

• Effects begin within 3–7 days

• Peak results at around 2 weeks

• Sweat reduction lasts 4–12 months depending on the area and individual

• Procedure is quick (usually under 30 minutes)

  FDA-Approved For:

• Axillary hyperhidrosis (underarm sweating)

⚠️ Off-Label Use:

• Hands (can cause temporary hand weakness)

• Feet

• Face or scalp

✅ Benefits of Botox:

• Non-surgical and minimally invasive

• Quick recovery (normal activities can resume immediately)

• Can be very effective, with 80–90% sweat reduction in treated areas
