Book a ConsultationWhat Is Botox for Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating caused by overactive sweat glands — not by heat or activity. Botox (botulinum toxin) treats it at the source: a few tiny injections block the nerve signal that tells your sweat glands to switch on, so the treated area simply stays dry. Your body keeps cooling itself normally everywhere else.
- ✔ Non-surgical, no downtime
- ✔ Treatment completed in about 20–30 minutes
- ✔ Noticeable dryness within 2–4 days
- ✔ Results typically last 4–6 months
- ✔ Treats underarms, palms, soles, and face
- ✔ Health Canada-approved for severe underarm sweating
Who Is It For?
Botox for hyperhidrosis is ideal if you:
- Sweat through clothing regardless of antiperspirant, weather, or activity
- Have clammy hands that make handshakes or daily tasks stressful
- Have already tried clinical or prescription-strength antiperspirants without enough relief
- Find sweating is affecting your work, social life, or confidence
- Want a non-surgical option with reliable, repeatable results
How Botox Stops the Sweat
Sweat glands don’t fire on their own — they wait for a chemical signal called acetylcholine, released by the nerves beside each gland. Botox blocks the release of that signal in the treated area, so the message to sweat never arrives. Think of it like quietly unplugging a doorbell: the glands are healthy and untouched, they just stop receiving the “ring” that activates them.
Most people notice a clear reduction within 2–4 days, with the full effect by about two weeks. Results commonly last 4–6 months; when they fade, the treatment is simply repeated, and many clients stay comfortable year-round.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
- Consultation: We review your concerns and health history and confirm you’re a good candidate.
- Mapping: The treatment area is identified — for underarms, a simple starch-iodine test can highlight the most active zones for precise placement.
- Treatment: A series of tiny injections is placed across the area. Numbing options are available for sensitive sites like the palms.
- Aftercare: You can return to normal activities right away — no significant downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it hurt?
Underarm treatment is well tolerated by most people. Palms and soles are more sensitive, so numbing options are used to keep you comfortable.
How soon will I be dry?
Most people notice a reduction within 2–4 days, with full results by about two weeks.
How long does it last?
Commonly 4–6 months, sometimes longer. Treatment is simply repeated as it wears off.
Will I stop sweating everywhere?
No. Botox only affects the specific area treated — your body continues to regulate temperature normally through the rest of your skin.
Is it safe?
Botox is a long-established treatment and is Health Canada-approved for severe underarm sweating. We review your health history at your consultation to make sure it’s appropriate for you.
