Request a ConsultationWhat is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a common skin condition that affects millions of Americans. Excessive sweating, beyond what’s necessary for body temperature regulation, characterizes this medical condition. Areas of the body with high concentrations of sweat glands, such as the underarms, palms, and feet, are mostly affected.
There are two types of hyperhidrosis: primary and secondary. The primary is excessive sweating in more than one focal area and can be hereditary or caused by faulty nerve signals. Secondary is excessive sweating all over the body and can be caused by underlying medical conditions, certain medications, malignant tumors, or neurological and endocrine disorders.
While some people opt for solutions such as prescription deodorants or over-the-counter treatments, others choose to have Botox injections to help minimize overactive nerves.
Why Choose Sweat Reduction Treatment?
FDA-approved Botox selectively turns off sweat glands in the skin, restoring normal appearance and preventing wetness.
Outpatient treatment requires no special care post-visit, with minimal side effects and long-lasting benefits (6-12 months on average). Various clinical studies document patient satisfaction rates of up to 98 percent!
How It Works
Step 2: Treatment Planning
Based on our conversation, we will customize an individual plan that caters to your specific requirements and ensures that you achieve your desired results.
Step 3: Treatment
This treatment will only be performed by physicians. During the procedure, injections will be administered under your arms, which may feel like tiny pinches, which target the nerves in the injection site. To reduce discomfort, topical numbing cream or ice may be applied due to the increased sensitivity of the areas under the arms, hands, and feet compared to the face.
Step 4: Follow upÂ
After your Botox treatment, we will schedule a professional follow-up appointment to assess results, address concerns, and ensure optimal outcomes.

Botox can be used for more than just reducing sweat. This neurotoxin can also help aesthetically by diminishing wrinkles and fine lines, without the need for invasive procedures. Try combining this with other treatments for even better results.
Before, During, and After
What Should I Expect Before a Botox Treatment
Before undergoing a Botox procedure, abstaining from alcohol, anti-inflammatories (such as Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, or Aleve), aspirin, and Vitamin E for up to one week can minimize the risk of bruising or swelling post-treatment.
What Should I Expect During a Botox Treatment
During the procedure, a small amount of Botox is injected under your arms which may feel like tiny pinches, with a very tiny needle by a skilled, certified injector. A topical numbing cream or ice may be used. The process takes up to 30 minutes and is relatively painless.
What Should I Expect After a Botox Treatment
After receiving treatment, you may experience some mild bruising or irritation that will quickly subside. It is not advisable to massage the treatment area. Within days, results should be visible, allowing you to enjoy long-lasting effects for up to 6–12 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Will I Look After The Treatment?
Botox is an effective treatment for excessive sweating, targeting the sweat glands and providing a dry, natural appearance.
How Long Are The Treatment Sessions?
Botox treatment for excessive sweating takes 30 minutes to complete.
What Areas Of The Body Can Be Treated With A Sweat Reduction Treatment Using Botox?
Botox treatment for excessive sweating can be used to treat areas of the body with higher concentrations of sweat glands, such as the underarms, palms, and feet.
How Can I Prepare For My Sweat Reduction Treatment Session?
Before the procedure, avoid alcohol, blood thinners, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications. These can increase your risk of bruising and bleeding. You should also avoid deodorant on the day of the treatment and wear loose-fitting clothing to avoid irritation to the treatment area.
When Will I See The Results Of The Procedure? How Long Do Results Last?
It typically requires 2 to 4 days to see results after Botox injections, with maximum effectiveness taking about 2 weeks to kick in. Results last approximately 6-12 months.
How Does Botox Compare To Other Treatments For Sweat Reduction, Such As Antiperspirants Or Surgery?
While antiperspirants can be effective for some, they often don’t provide enough relief for those with severe hyperhidrosis. Surgery, on the other hand, can be invasive and expensive.
Botox, or botulinum toxin, has emerged as a popular non-surgical treatment option that can provide relief for months at a time. Unlike antiperspirants, Botox is injected directly into the sweat glands to temporarily block nerve signals that trigger sweating and offers a safe and effective option for sweat reduction.
What Are The Potential Risks And Side Effects? Is The Treatment Painful?
The risks and side effects associated with this procedure are low. Some may experience temporary swelling or bruising at the injection site, with mild discomfort during the injection. Applying ice and a topical numbing gel can help ease any discomfort. Our skilled and certified injectors will ensure a virtually pain–free session.
Can Botox For Sweat Reduction Be Covered By Insurance?
Excessive sweat can be debilitating, causing embarrassment and discomfort for those who suffer from it. Some insurance plans cover Botox for hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating if deemed medically necessary.
Can I Engage In Physical Activities Or Exercise After Receiving Botox For Sweat Reduction?
You can continue to stay active after receiving Botox for sweat reduction. Although it is recommended that you avoid intense exercise immediately following the injections, you should be able to resume your normal exercise routine within a few days.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
You will need only 1 session every 6-12 months.
How Much Does Botox Treatment For Sweat Reduction Typically Cost?
The cost of treatment varies depending on the areas treated.
Is Botox For Sweat Reduction Suitable For Everyone?

The recommended frequency for Botox treatment of excessive sweating varies depending on individual circumstances. Generally, it is suggested to receive injections once every six to twelve months, depending on the severity of your condition and how quickly your body metabolizes the Botox.

There is no downtime associated with Botox treatment for sweat reduction. You may resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
