BOTOX FOR HYPERHIDROSIS

BOTOX FOR HYPERHIDROSIS

Say goodbye to excessive sweating.

Botox is a clinically proven, FDA-approved treatment for hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes abnormal and excessive sweating even without heat or physical activity. When prescription-strength antiperspirants or medications fail, Botox offers fast, effective, and long-lasting relief.

WHAT IS HYPERHIDROSIS?

Hyperhidrosis is the overactivity of sweat glands that leads to uncontrollable perspiration in specific areas, commonly:

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do results last?

Typically 4–6 months, but many patients enjoy dryness for up to a year.

Underarm treatments are virtually painless. Hands and feet are more sensitive but numbing options are available.
Sweat reduction starts in 3–7 days with full results in 2 weeks.

Mild bruising or swelling is possible. Temporary muscle weakness may occur in the hands or feet but usually resolves within days.

HOW BOTOX WORKS FOR SWEATING

Nerve Signal Disruption
Botulinum Toxin Type A blocks nerve signals that trigger overactive sweat glands.

Injection at Sweat Zones
Targeted injections are administered in affected areas like underarms, palms, feet, forehead, or scalp.

Progressive Reduction in Sweat
Within a week, excessive sweating begins to subside. Full dryness is achieved in about two weeks.

Temporary but Effective
Effects last several months. As nerves regenerate, sweating may gradually return—maintenance treatments are optional and effective.

Doesn’t Affect Body’s Heat Regulation
Only sweat in the treated areas is blocked. Your body still sweats normally in other areas to maintain healthy temperature control.
