Botox Hyperhidrosis Treatment

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is a common problem that can be embarrassing. When your armpit glands over produce sweat, it can drench clothing and cause undesirable body odor. If you have hyperhidrosis, there are treatments to give you relief. One of the least invasive and most effective is Botox®. At LL Aesthetics, we offer Botox hyperhidrosis treatment at our clinic in Miami Beach, FL.

Botox is a neurotoxin that has been used for over 30 years in medical treatments, and it is also a very popular cosmetic injectable. Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscle, which can stop unwanted muscle contractions. This effect can help manage muscle spasms and other medical conditions, as well as smooth lines and wrinkles. It is this muscle relaxation effect that can also control excessive sweating.

Stop Excessive Underarm Sweating

Botox injections can relax the muscles that cause excessive sweating from the underarm glands. The injections can be performed in less than a half hour, and there is no downtime needed after the treatment. In the days following the treatment, the neuromodulating effects of Botox will begin to take hold. The muscles that control the sweat glands will relax, and less sweat will be produced.

Botox is FDA approved for hyperhidrosis treatment in the armpits. This is recommended for people who are not able to control excessive sweating with antiperspirants. The effects of Botox for excessive sweating may begin to work within two weeks. Many people experience 50% or more reduction in sweating during their first six months. Repeated injections can be performed about once a year to control hyperhidrosis. Currently, Botox hyperhidrosis treatment is only FDA-approved for the armpit glands, but it has been used off-label for other areas prone to excessive sweating.
