Botox for Excessive Sweating: What You Need to Know

Is excessive sweating impacting your daily life?

At our clinic in Karnal, Dr Divya Shukla,Board Certified Deramatologist provides Botox injections for Excessive Sweating (hyperhidrosis). This non-surgical treatment offers a long-lasting solution with no downtime.

How Does Botox Work to Reduce Sweating?

The active ingredient in Botox, botulinum toxin, blocks neurotransmitters responsible for activating sweat glands. By interrupting these signals, Botox effectively reduces sweating in the treated areas.

How Effective Is Botox for Controlling Underarm Sweating?

Botox is highly effective in managing underarm sweating. Clinical studies indicate that Botox can reduce sweating by up to 87%.

Most patients notice a significant improvement within a week of treatment, and results typically last for up to six months.

What Is Hyperhidrosis, and Do You Have It?

Hyperhidrosis refers to excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature.

While sweating during exercise or in hot weather is normal, individuals with hyperhidrosis experience sweating that interferes with daily life, even in comfortable conditions.

Signs you may have hyperhidrosis include visible sweating when at rest or persistent underarm sweat that antiperspirants cannot control.

There are two main types of hyperhidrosis:

Primary focal hyperhidrosis: This usually begins in adolescence and affects specific areas such as the armpits, hands, or feet.

Secondary hyperhidrosis: This type is linked to an underlying condition, such as menopause or hyperthyroidism.

What to Expect During Your Botox Treatment for Hyperhidrosis

Many first-time patients worry about pain, but Botox injections for hyperhidrosis are quick and cause minimal discomfort. A topical numbing agent is applied before the procedure to ensure comfort.

The Botox is then administered using a fine needle, and there’s no downtime—patients can return to their normal activities immediately.

How Much Botox Is Needed, and How Often Are Injections Required?

Each treatment typically involves 50 units of Botox per underarm. Since everyone metabolizes Botox differently, most patients require repeat treatments approximately every six months.

Are There Risks Associated with Botox for Hyperhidrosis?

Botox is FDA-approved for treating underarm sweating and is considered safe with minimal risk.

Common side effects include temporary redness, tenderness, or mild bruising at the injection site.
