At Skin Theory Aesthetics, Botox can be used to help reduce excessive sweating caused by hyperhidrosis, especially in the underarm area. This treatment is designed for patients who feel their sweating interferes with clothing, confidence, or daily life.


What is hyperhidrosis ?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition where the sweat glands produce more sweat than the body needs for temperature regulation. It can affect the underarms, hands, feet, or face, and may occur even when you are not hot, exercising, or anxious.

For many patients, it becomes frustrating because it can affect clothing choices, professional confidence, and social comfort.

How Botox Helps Sweating?

Botox works by temporarily reducing the nerve signals that activate sweat glands.

When placed carefully in the underarm area, Botox can help decrease sweat production in the treated area. Results are not permanent, but many patients experience meaningful improvement for several months.

This is different from cosmetic Botox for wrinkles, although the same active ingredient is used.
