What Is Botox for Sweating?
Excessive sweating, also called hyperhidrosis, can affect your comfort, clothing choices and confidence. Botox (botulinum toxin) is a widely used hyperhidrosis treatment. Our specialists inject it into specific areas, where it blocks the nerve signals that trigger the sweat glands. As a result, sweating drops significantly. We offer Botox for sweating at our Birmingham, MI and East Lansing med spas.
What Areas Does Hyperhidrosis Treatment Cover?
Botox can reduce excessive sweating in the:
- Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
- Hands (palmar hyperhidrosis)
- Feet (plantar hyperhidrosis)
- Face and forehead
Botox is FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating. Other areas are treated off-label, which our team will explain at your visit.
What to Expect: Procedure, Recovery and Results
Only qualified healthcare professionals should perform this treatment. Our specialists have extensive experience with Botox for sweating. Your visit starts with a review of your symptoms and the areas that bother you most. We then place multiple small injections across the treatment area. Most visits take less than an hour, and you can return to your day right after.
Many people notice reduced sweating within one to two weeks. Effects typically last 4 to 6 months, and then re-treatment is needed. Side effects are generally mild and temporary. They can include pain at the injection sites, brief bruising or short-term weakness in nearby muscles.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Botox for Sweating?
You may be a good candidate if sweating soaks through your clothes, drips from your hands or affects daily life, even when you use strong antiperspirants. It suits healthy adults with focal sweating in the underarms, hands, feet or face. If you are pregnant or have certain nerve or muscle conditions, Botox may not be right for you.
