Hyperhidrosis Treatment

Botulinum toxin treatment to reduce excessive sweating, most commonly of the underarms.

What it is

Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can affect the underarms, palms, or other areas and may be distressing in daily life. Treatment uses botulinum toxin, a prescription treatment, injected into the skin of the affected area to temporarily block the signals that activate the sweat glands.

The effect develops over days and typically lasts several months before gradually wearing off, after which treatment can be repeated. The underarms are the most commonly treated area.

What it can improve

  • Excessive underarm sweating
  • Sweating of the palms, assessed individually
  • Confidence and comfort in clothing and social situations
  • Day-to-day impact of excessive sweating

It does not cure the underlying tendency to sweat, is temporary, and does not treat sweating caused by an underlying medical condition that needs separate care.

Quick facts

  • Treatment time: 20–30 minutes
  • Sessions: 1, repeated when the effect fades
  • Anesthesia: Topical numbing for sensitive areas
  • Downtime: Minimal
  • Results visible: Over a few days to 2 weeks
  • Results last: Typically 4–6 months or longer

Before the procedure

The affected area and the impact of the sweating are assessed, and your medical history is reviewed to rule out causes that need different treatment. The procedure is avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

During the procedure

Small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected just under the skin across the affected area in a grid pattern, using a fine needle. Treating the palms may involve numbing first, as it can be more sensitive.

After the procedure

There is little downtime, and normal activity resumes quickly. The reduction in sweating develops over the following days to two weeks.

Results: what it can and cannot achieve

A marked, lasting reduction in sweating for several months is achievable in the treated area. The effect is temporary and wears off over time, so treatment is repeated, and it does not change the underlying tendency. Results vary between people.

Possible risks and complications

Botulinum toxin for sweating is generally safe in trained hands, but it carries some risks. Possible risks include:

  • Bruising, redness, or tenderness at injection points
  • Temporary discomfort, especially when treating the palms
  • Temporary muscle weakness if the hands are treated
  • Uneven reduction in sweating
  • Compensatory sweating elsewhere, uncommonly

This is a prescription treatment used after assessment. It is avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding and in certain neuromuscular conditions. Sweating from an underlying medical cause is assessed separately.

The best surgeon

I had a circumferential abdominoplasty with Matteo Amoroso, and I can honestly say I couldn't have wished for a better surgeon. From the moment I met Matteo, I felt the sense of security I was looking for. He was kind, attentive, and professional from the very beginning. He took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all my questions, which made me feel well-informed before the surgery. I never had to go home and wonder about anything because he was so thorough in his explanations. It's now been three weeks since my surgery, and even though the healing process is still ongoing, I'm already incredibly happy with the result. The change is greater than I had dared to hope for, and I feel so grateful that I chose Matteo. I have more surgeries I want to undergo in the future, and there's no doubt that Matteo will be my first choice then too. I warmly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery!

A pro

I've had two surgeries with Matteo. The first was liposuction on my stomach, and most recently, my eyes – specifically, my lower eyelids and eyebrows. Matteo suggested a unique technique for my eyebrows that no other surgeon had proposed. This allowed me to remove excess skin under my eyebrows without needing an eyebrow or forehead lift, which I wasn't interested in. I'm extremely happy with the results of both my procedures. Matteo is a true professional; he loves his work, and you're always met with kindness and genuine care. He's an excellent communicator, explaining everything clearly and answering all questions and concerns. You feel completely confident in his knowledge and experience. Matteo also has a wonderful ability to make you feel understood; he listens carefully and is just as dedicated and invested as you are in achieving a successful procedure and outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Matteo. I've had surgery 6 times in total, with the last two being with him. Whatever my next procedure may be, I will undoubtedly choose Matteo first again.

The best surgeon

Matteo is an incredibly skilled surgeon whom I highly recommend. I underwent a major tummy tuck, and from the very first consultation, Matteo was professional, calm, and very accessible. He took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel secure, involved, and well-informed throughout the entire process. He thoroughly explained the procedure, recovery, and what results I could expect, which gave me great confidence going into the surgery. Everything went very well without any complications, and I am very happy with the result. I would undoubtedly choose Matteo again if I were to have more procedures in the future.

The best choice for a plastic surgeon!

Dr. Amoroso has performed several operations on me, including a neck and facelift with fat grafting, a lip lift, eyelid surgery, breast and tummy tucks, and liposuction on my knees. All operations have been successful and exceeded my expectations. I have worked with doctors for 50 years and am very impressed by Dr. Amoroso's artistry and skill. He is truly an asset to this profession and to patients who desire excellent results and the peace of mind that comes from being cared for in a responsible and professional manner.

Successful 360 lipo

Matteo is the best surgeon I could ever imagine. I am beyond satisfied. Both the care I received and the results of the 360 liposuction Matteo performed on me have been absolutely fantastic. It couldn't have been better! Everything has exceeded my expectations. Matteo is professional, skilled, competent, caring, reassuring, and experienced. Thank you, Matteo!
