Treatment Details
Composition
The composition of hyperhidrosis injections, typically using Botox (botulinum toxin type A) these injections are administered directly into the skin of the area affected by hyperhidrosis, such as the underarms, hands, feet, or face. This composition allows the injections to be both safe and effective in treating excessive sweating by targeting the specific nerves that cause the condition.
Procedure
Once injected, the botulinum toxin binds to nerve endings and prevents the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that signals the sweat glands to produce sweat. This results in a significant reduction in sweating in the treated area. During the procedure, a very fine needle is used to inject tiny amounts of Botox just under the skin intermittently throughout the area of excessive sweating (in a grid pattern, approximately every 1 to 2 centimeters.
Duration and Frequency
The duration of each session can vary but usually takes around 30 minutes. These repeat injections may be necessary at intervals varying from 6 to 12 months.
Recovery
Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return to their normal activities immediately or within a few hours. Some minor swelling, bruising, or redness may occur, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days.

FAQs
What are Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition where a person sweats excessively, beyond what is needed for body temperature regulation. This can occur in the palms, feet, underarms, face, and other areas.
How Do Injections Treat Hyperhidrosis?
Injections, commonly Botox, are used to block the nerves responsible for activating sweat glands. By preventing these nerves from triggering sweat production, the excessive sweating is reduced.
How long does the procedure take?
The injection process typically takes about 15-30 minutes. Including preparation and post-treatment care, the entire appointment usually lasts around 45 minutes to an hour.
Are the Injections Painful?
The injections are generally well-tolerated, though some patients may experience mild discomfort. A numbing cream or ice can be applied to the area before the procedure to minimize pain.
How Quickly Will I See Results?
Results are typically noticeable within a few days to a week after the injection, with full effects usually seen within two weeks.
How Long Do the Effects Last?
The effects of Botox injections for hyperhidrosis typically last between 6 to 12 months. After this period, repeat treatments may be necessary to maintain the results.
What Are the Side Effects?
Common side effects include mild pain or bruising at the injection site. In rare cases, muscle weakness or compensatory sweating (increased sweating in other parts of the body) can occur.
Is This Treatment Safe?
Botox for hyperhidrosis is considered safe when administered by a qualified healthcare professional. The FDA has approved Botox for the treatment of excessive underarm sweating.
Are there any serious risks or complications?
Serious complications are rare but can include infection, sweating in sites other than armpits, swelling, stinging and pain in the injection site, headache and hot flushes.
