Q: Is Botox for sweating safe?

Botox® is FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating and has been used for this purpose for many years. Your health history is reviewed before treatment to make sure it’s right for you.

Q: How does Botox reduce sweating?

Botox® temporarily reduces the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands in the treated skin. The glands aren’t removed or damaged, and they return to normal as the effect wears off.

Q: Can you treat my hands?

Botox® is FDA-approved for the underarms. It is sometimes used for hand sweating, but that use is off-label, so it’s offered only after a consultation with Dr. Parvina.

Q: Who should not get Botox for sweating?

Botox® may not be appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with certain neuromuscular conditions, an infection at the treatment area, or an allergy to its ingredients. Because sweating can sometimes have another medical cause, your history is reviewed first.

When strong antiperspirants aren’t enough, Botox^® can temporarily reduce excessive underarm sweating and help you feel more comfortable and confident day to day. It is FDA-approved for severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis.

How It Works

Quiet the signal
stay drier

Botox^® is injected into the skin of the underarm, where it temporarily reduces the nerve signals that switch on your sweat glands. The rest of your body keeps sweating normally to keep you cool.

Nerve signal

Nerves normally tell the sweat glands when to produce sweat.

Signal reduced

Botox^® temporarily quiets that signal in the treated area.

Less sweat

The underarm stays noticeably drier for months, until the effect wears off.
