Hyperhidrosis Relief (Botox for Excessive Sweating)

guest and provider in treatment consultation

Body Treatments

Botox injections can effectively treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) by blocking the chemical messenger that stimulates sweat production. During the 10‐minute appointment, a series of shallow injections is placed into the affected area (often underarms). Most people begin to notice reduced sweating within 2-4 days, with full dryness by two weeks. Results last 4-12 months or longer.
