Sweat Reduction With Botox In Armpit, Hands, and Face
Botox in armpit, face, or hands can effectively treat excessive sweating, with outcomes lasting between 4-6 months. Botox blocks nerves, stopping signals to sweat glands when injected into the skin.
What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a physiological condition in which sweat glands produce excess sweat. This sweat is unrelated to heat or activity due to overactive nerves. It often has a genetic cause and can lead to social stress. Studies show that 1-3% of the UK population suffers from excessive sweating.
Hyperhidrosis may either be:
- Generalized Hyperhidrosis (Whole Body)
- Focal Hyperhidrosis (Hands, Feet, Armpits, Face, Groin or Scalp)
Botox In Armpit
Botox in armpit (underarms) tackles excessive sweating, a common concern. This area causes much concern due to visible stains on shirts and sweat patches on clothes. After finding topical products ineffective or irritating, clients often choose Botox in the armpit (underarms). The absence of nearby small muscles minimizes the risk of side effects from high-dose injections.
Botox in Hands (Palms and Fingers)
Sweaty palms and fingers are a common cause of social embarrassment in many people, and they can be effectively treated with Botox. The fingers are easy to treat, but the palms require skillful knowledge of anatomy, as small fingers may be affected adversely.
Botox For Face Sweating & Blushing/Flushing
Botox for facial sweating can target typical areas like the forehead, scalp, cheeks, and nose, using a micro-tox technique to avoid muscle weakening. These same nerves also contribute to flushing and blushing, making Botox effective for managing facial blushing.
Excessive Sweating Causes
Certain sweat glands in hyperhidrosis work overtime for no apparent reason. Thus producing sweat that your body does not need. Some of the commonly known factors that can even make sweating worse are:
- Genetics
- Emotional Or Mental Stress
- Menopause
- Hormonal Imbalance
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Certain oral medications for heart health
Benefits Of Botox In Armpit, Body, or Face
Botox in armpit, body, and face treatments are popular because:
- Little to no pain or discomfort
- Immediate return to daily activities
- Lasting effects for 4-8 months
Botulinum toxin injections could be considered one of the most effective treatments for excessive sweating, acting as a medical-grade antiperspirant.
Assessing Excessive Sweating
Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS)
HDS is a point scale (sweat test) that sets specific benchmarks to rate the seriousness of a patient’s condition. Moreover, it evaluates how much excessive sweating interferes with the patient’s daily working routine and activities and what factors make their sweating worse.

Doses Of Botox in Armpit
The dosage of Botox in armpit depends on the size of the underarm area. We aim to inject a concentrated dose per square centimeter, covering the entire hairy patch area of the underarm. Studies have revealed that a higher dose is safe, effective, and long-lasting. We aim to reduce the excess sweating in the armpit by more than 50-75%.

It is Okay to wax and shave after the Treatment?
You can wax, shave, or laser hair removal on the treated regions 24 hours after your treatment. Many patients generally remove the hair before botox for underarm sweating.
What is Sweat Rash?
Sweat rash is a skin irritation that happens when your skin is wet and subjected to rubbing.
Excess sweating can cause:
- Rash under your armpits due to armpit sweat
- Sweat rash under breasts or sweat rash between breasts
- Groin sweat rash

Sweat rash commonly appears in areas where the skin rubs together and has little to no airflow.
