How Botox Can Treat Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

Excessive sweating—also known as hyperhidrosis—can be frustrating, embarrassing, and disruptive to daily life. Whether it’s sweaty palms during meetings, underarm stains that ruin your wardrobe, or constant discomfort, this condition can deeply impact self-confidence and quality of life.

The good news? Botox is an FDA-approved treatment for hyperhidrosis, offering long-lasting relief without surgery or harsh medications.

At VIVE Medical Spa, we use advanced Botox techniques to help clients regain comfort and control, targeting the source of excessive sweating with precise, non-invasive care.

What Is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating beyond what’s needed for temperature regulation. It typically affects:

• Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
• Palms of the hands
• Soles of the feet
• Face or scalp

The sweating can be constant or triggered by stress, heat, or no apparent reason at all. In many cases, it’s not solved by over-the-counter antiperspirants or lifestyle changes.

How Botox Treats Excessive Sweating

Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. When injected into areas with overactive glands, it temporarily shuts down sweat production, offering relief for months at a time.

This doesn’t affect your body’s ability to regulate temperature, as sweating continues in untreated areas.

Common Treatment Areas:

• Underarms (most commonly treated)
• Palms and fingertips
• Soles of the feet
• Forehead, scalp, or upper lip

Botox for hyperhidrosis is a safe, quick, and minimally invasive treatment with impressive results.

What to Expect During Treatment

Consultation

Your provider will examine the affected area, assess severity, and confirm that Botox is right for you.

Procedure

• A topical numbing cream may be applied.
• Botox is injected in small amounts just under the skin across the treatment area.
• The procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the area.

Aftercare

• You can return to normal activities the same day.
• Minor swelling or tenderness may occur but fades quickly.
• Avoid intense workouts or hot environments for 24 hours post-treatment.

When Will You See Results?

• Most patients begin to see reduced sweating within 3–5 days.
• Full results are typically noticed within 1–2 weeks.
• Effects last 4 to 6 months, and longer in some cases.
• Regular maintenance sessions help keep sweating under control year-round.
