BOTOX® Injections for Excessive Sweating

Overview

Do you sweat more than you should, even when you're not hot and you're not being physically active? We call this "hyperhidrosis." BOTOX injections are an effective way to control excessive sweating. It's a simple, safe procedure that gives you long-term relief.

What is BOTOX?

What is BOTOX? It's the brand name for a protein called "botulinum toxin." When injected in small doses, it blocks the nerves that trigger sweating. It can reduce sweating for several months. Then, you can come back and have it done again.

The injections

During the BOTOX procedure, we target the areas where you have excessive sweating. We give you a series of injections. The needle is small, and we'll make sure you're comfortable. After the injections, you can get right back to your normal activities.

Conclusion

You'll notice a reduction in sweating over the next few weeks. After that, you may be asked to come back for a followup appointment. Follow your aftercare instructions so you get the best results.
