Botox for Excessive Sweating

Hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating beyond what is needed for body temperature regulation — affects millions of people. It can cause significant social anxiety, wardrobe limitations, and daily discomfort. While antiperspirants and oral medications offer some relief, Botox provides the most effective, longest-lasting non-surgical solution available.

Botox treats hyperhidrosis by blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. When injected into the skin of the underarms, palms, or forehead, it temporarily prevents the release of the chemical messenger that tells the glands to produce sweat. The result is dramatically reduced sweating in the treated area.

Underarm hyperhidrosis treatment is the most common application. Using a grid pattern, small amounts of Botox are injected just below the skin surface across the entire underarm area. The procedure takes about 20 minutes per side and most clients describe mild, brief discomfort.

Results begin within 2 to 4 days and reach full effect by two weeks. Most clients experience a 80 to 90 percent reduction in sweating that lasts 6 to 9 months — significantly longer than standard cosmetic Botox. Many clients schedule treatments twice a year, timed before summer and before the holiday social season.

Palm and forehead hyperhidrosis treatment follows a similar approach. Palm treatment may use a topical numbing cream for comfort due to the density of nerve endings in the hands. At Templus Life we tailor the dosing and injection pattern to your specific sweating patterns for optimal, even results.
