What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating beyond what your body needs for temperature control.
It most commonly affects:
• Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
• Palms (palmar hyperhidrosis)
• Soles of the feet (plantar hyperhidrosis)
It often begins in adolescence and can persist for years. Many patients describe:
• Changing clothes multiple times a day
• Avoiding certain fabrics or colors
• Difficulty shaking hands
• Slipping inside shoes
• Anxiety about social or professional situations
This isn’t about hygiene.
It’s about overactive sweat signals from your nervous system.
How Botox® Stops Excessive Sweating
Botox® works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate your sweat glands.
When these signals are interrupted:
• Sweat production dramatically decreases
• Treated areas stay dry
• Confidence improves almost immediately
Botox® has been FDA-approved for treating excessive underarm sweating for years and is widely used off-label for hands and feet with excellent results.
Importantly:
Botox® does not stop your body from sweating normally. It simply reduces sweating in the treated area.
Your body continues to regulate temperature safely.
Treatment Areas
Underarms
The most common and FDA-approved area.
Treatment takes about 10–15 minutes and significantly reduces underarm sweat for months.
Hands
Ideal for those who struggle with damp palms or embarrassment during handshakes.
We use precise injections across the palms to reduce sweat gland activity.
Feet
For patients dealing with constantly sweaty soles or slipping in shoes.
Treatment helps reduce moisture and improve daily comfort.
What to Expect During Treatment
• Treatment takes 15–30 minutes depending on area
• Multiple tiny injections are placed just beneath the skin
• Minimal downtime
• You can return to normal activity immediately
For hands and feet, we may use topical numbing or other comfort measures to make treatment more comfortable.
When Will I See Results?
Most patients notice:
• Improvement within 3–7 days
• Full results within 2 weeks
• Up to 4–6 months of dryness (sometimes longer)
Maintenance treatments can be performed as needed.
Is Botox® for Hyperhidrosis Right for You?
You may be an excellent candidate if:
• Antiperspirants have failed
• Sweating interferes with daily life

• You’re tired of managing symptoms instead of solving them
