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


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.
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.
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.
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.
There is little downtime, and normal activity resumes quickly. The reduction in sweating develops over the following days to two weeks.
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.
Botulinum toxin for sweating is generally safe in trained hands, but it carries some risks. Possible risks include:
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.
