Botox could be a life-changing solution.

How Botox for sweating works?

Botox works by temporarily blocking the chemicals that signal it’s time for your glands to produce sweat. It doesn’t affect touch or sensation in the underarm area.

You only need one office visit to complete Botox treatment for underarm sweating. The procedure typically involves several injections in each armpit. Each time, your healthcare provider injects a small amount of Botox just under the skin surface with a tiny needle.
Many people don’t even feel the injections.

You should see an improvement in sweating in about three to four days. The full, moisture-busting effects happen at around two weeks.

How long do treatment results last?

Botox is an injectable medication that’s most well-known for its wrinkle-smoothing power. And it’s also great at stopping armpit sweat. It decreases underarm moisture by 82% to 87%. Dryness typically lasts between 6 to 12 months.

Botox is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) of the underarms.
