Botox for Hyperhidrosis: How to Stop Excessive Sweating Effectively

While Botox is widely known for smoothing facial lines and preventing wrinkles, it also serves a lesser-known but highly effective purpose: reducing excessive sweating. This condition, medically known as hyperhidrosis, can disrupt daily life and diminish self-confidence for many individuals. At Amaira Med Spa in South Florida, we use Botox not only as a cosmetic solution but also as a targeted treatment for hyperhidrosis in areas such as the underarms.

This blog explores how Botox works to reduce excessive sweating, who may benefit the most, how long the effects last, and what to expect during your appointment.

Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by abnormally excessive sweating that isn’t always related to heat or exercise. It commonly affects the underarms, hands, feet, and sometimes the face. This level of sweating can interfere with everyday activities, from wearing certain clothes to professional and social interactions.

Botox has been FDA-approved to treat primary axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating), making it a clinically supported, non-surgical option for managing this concern.

Botox, short for botulinum toxin, works by blocking the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands. When injected into specific areas, it temporarily prevents the glands from producing sweat.

This process does not affect the body’s ability to regulate temperature. Instead, it focuses on reducing sweat in the treated zones—typically the underarms—where overproduction causes discomfort or embarrassment.

This treatment is best suited for individuals who:

• Experience excessive underarm sweating that is not well controlled by antiperspirants
• Are looking for a non-surgical, quick in-office solution
• Want to reduce visible sweat marks and avoid frequent wardrobe changes
• Are in good overall health and understand that results are temporary

At Amaira Med Spa, we assess each client’s needs and health background to determine whether Botox is appropriate for treating hyperhidrosis.

Botox for hyperhidrosis is a relatively simple procedure performed in our comfortable South Florida med spa setting. The process typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes and involves a series of small injections directly into the skin of the underarm area.

What the Appointment Involves:

Botox for hyperhidrosis is a relatively simple procedure performed in our comfortable South Florida med spa setting. The process typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes and involves a series of small injections directly into the skin of the underarm area.

• The area will be cleaned and mapped to ensure accurate injection placement
• A fine needle is used to deliver Botox just beneath the surface of the skin
• Most patients describe the sensation as a series of quick pinches
• There is no required downtime, and normal activities can typically be resumed the same day

Mild redness or sensitivity may occur temporarily after treatment, but these effects usually resolve within 24 to 48 hours.

Results typically begin within 3 to 5 days following treatment, with full effectiveness noticeable at about two weeks. On average, clients experience a significant reduction in underarm sweat for 4 to 6 months. Follow-up treatments can be scheduled as needed to maintain results.

The longevity of the treatment can vary depending on each individual’s metabolism and lifestyle, but many clients find it to be a convenient part of their seasonal or ongoing wellness routine.
