What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating that goes beyond normal temperature regulation.
It affects:
- underarms
- palms
- feet
- scalp
- face
- groin
For many patients, sweating happens even when they are not hot, exercising, or stressed. This interferes with clothing choices, handshakes, work, dating, and daily confidence.
How Does Botox Stop Excessive Sweating?
Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands.
When injected into the treatment area, Botox reduces sweat gland activity and excessive sweating.

- Underarms (Axillary Hyperhidrosis) — reduce sweat stains, odor, and constant antiperspirant use
- Palms (Palmar Hyperhidrosis) — helps patients who struggle with handshakes, wet palms, and social discomfort
- Soles of the Feet (Plantar Hyperhidrosis) — reduce odor and foot discomfort
