Axillary hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating in the underarm area. For individuals affected, it can cause significant discomfort and affect confidence in daily life. Botox injections provide a highly effective, non-surgical solution by temporarily reducing sweat production. With quick treatments, minimal discomfort, and long-lasting results, this approach has become the gold standard for managing underarm hyperhidrosis.
Botox is injected directly into the skin of the underarms, where it targets the sweat glands. The botulinum toxin blocks the nerve signals responsible for activating the glands, preventing them from producing excessive sweat. Over time, this provides:
Results usually begin to appear within a few days, with full effectiveness reached within 1–2 weeks.
One treatment session can reduce sweating for up to 6–12 months.
No incisions or invasive procedures are required, and downtime is minimal.
Patients experience greater comfort, confidence, and freedom in clothing choices.
Botox is FDA-approved for hyperhidrosis and widely recognised as the gold-standard treatment.
Treatments are quick, and discomfort during injections is mild and temporary.
No major preparation is needed. Patients may be advised to avoid shaving or using deodorant on the day of treatment.
A series of small Botox injections is administered across the underarm area. The session usually lasts around 20–30 minutes.
Normal activities can be resumed immediately. Mild redness or sensitivity may occur but typically resolves within a day.
Botox for hyperhidrosis is very safe when performed by a qualified medical professional. Temporary side effects may include:
These effects are minor and usually resolve quickly. Serious side effects are extremely rare.
While antiperspirants can help mild cases, Botox provides longer-lasting and more reliable results for moderate to severe sweating.
Some medications reduce sweating but may cause side effects. Botox works locally and avoids systemic effects.
Surgery to remove sweat glands is invasive and carries higher risks. Botox offers a safe, non-surgical alternative.
Most patients notice improvements within a few days, with full results after 1–2 weeks.
Results generally last 6–12 months, depending on the individual.
Minor redness, bruising, or sensitivity may occur but resolve quickly.
