Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating.  Many people suffer from excessive underarm sweating regardless of their body temperature.

Injections of botulinum toxin (Botox) can be an effective treatment option for hyperhidrosis.

What to Expect During a Treatment Session
Before your session, you’ll meet with an experienced healthcare provider who will review your medical history and conditions to decide if this is the best hyperhidrosis treatment for you.

Most clients require only one botulinum toxin treatment under each arm to see a decrease in sweating. The procedure usually takes about 30-45 minutes, and it is generally very safe with minor potential side effects.

How Long Do the Results Last?
Depending on the individual, subsequent treatments are typically needed 4-6 months after the initial treatment. However, just like in most cases that involve botulinum toxin treatments, in time, our clients can go longer before requiring additional treatments. When performed correctly, a single axillary hyperhidrosis treatment can last up to 12 months.

Botox for Hyperhidrosis Aftercare
Individuals can go home immediately after the Botox treatment. They should avoid exercise, and not have hot baths or showers for the rest of the day. They can apply ice to the area and take a mild pain reliever if they have some tenderness. Normal activity can be resumed the following day. Patients should also avoid touching the treated area to prevent the toxin from spreading to other parts of the body.

Furthermore, it is recommended to avoid hot environments or activities that may cause excessive sweating for 24 hours after the treatment and to take aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications for 24 hours after the treatment to minimize the risk of bruising.
