Did you know Botox is an FDA-approved treatment for excessive underarm sweat? When injected into areas that have excessive sweat, Botox temporarily blocks the nerve signals that instruct sweat glands to become active. The treatment takes up to two weeks to take full effect and lasts three to six months. Remember that Botox injections reduce sweating only in treated areas, so you’ll continue to sweat normally in other areas of your body. The treatment process for Botox for hyperhidrosis is similar to that for cosmetic indications. Your appointment will be 30 minutes, and the injection experience will be relatively comfortable. Each injection feels like a small pinch and lasts only for a moment.

Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands. When injected into areas prone to excessive sweating, it prevents these glands from becoming overactive, reducing sweat production in those specific regions.
The effects of Botox for hyperhidrosis typically begin to manifest within a week or two after the injections. However, it may take up to two weeks to experience the full effectiveness of the treatment.
Generally, the results of Botox treatment for excessive sweating can last between three to six months. Over time, as the effects wear off, you may notice a gradual return of sweating in the treated areas.
While Botox effectively reduces sweating in the treated areas, it does not entirely stop sweating elsewhere. You’ll still experience normal sweating in untreated areas, as Botox specifically targets the nerve signals in the localized injection sites.
