Testimonials

“I had horrible hyperhidrosis that started during puberty, and a neurologist in my family suggested Botox when I was in my early teens. In my opinion, it’s a thousand percent worth it. Each session is super short (the entire process only takes 15 minutes), and I haven’t had any side effects: People always ask if I sweat more in other areas, and the answer is no! I felt the results pretty immediately, around two weeks post-treatment. Another bonus: I didn’t have to wear deodorant at all for a month or two, so that’s a win!” — Liz B.

“I started getting Botox for sweating in my late 20s. I sweat a lot (mostly in my armpits) and the smell bothers me. My shirts would be stained yellow, and I’ve been insecure about this since middle school. The first time I got underarm Botox, it was worth it. For months, my pits were dry and didn’t stink, which was a miracle. (I have tried everything, including lemon wedges, baking soda, and every brand of deodorant—nothing has worked.) I know so many people who say it’s been a lifesaver for them, but it has truly changed my life!” — Natalie N.

“I have always experienced heavy underarm sweating and was proactively searching for any solution. It wasn't until I learned about Botox and could afford it (when I was 25) that I tried it for the first time. The appointments are rather quick and easy. You’re being pricked in your armpits, which doesn’t feel good, but I don't mind because I know that the shots work. I started noticing results within five days after my first treatment, and it reduced the amount of sweat (and the smell) in my armpits for about 9 to 12 glorious months. There are so many fabrics and clothing colors I would never wear before, and now I’m able to without feeling self-conscious about stains and wet marks!” — Carol H.

According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, underarm Botox injections can reduce underarm sweating by 82–87%. The effects can typically last 4–12 months, or up to 14 months in some cases. People who receive underarm Botox injections tend to see results 2–4 days after treatment. The full effects are usually noticeable within 2 weeks. However, Botox is not a permanent solution for excessive underarm sweating. A single treatment lasts around 4–12 months, so a person typically needs ongoing injections. This is a quick procedure with little to no downtime and most people will notice an improvement.

  • For the majority of people, hyperhidrosis does not pose a serious health threat. However, it can be uncomfortable and embarrassing, and it can interfere with quality of life.
  • BOTOX ® is injected into the skin to treat the symptoms of severe underarm sweating (severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis) when medicines used on the skin (topical) do not work well enough in people 18 years and older.
  • Botox injections have come to be widely used in managing primary hyperhidrosis when topical treatments have failed. The treatment works by blocking the nerve signals that instruct the sweat glands to become active. It takes three to four days for the results of Botox injections for hyperhidrosis to become evident. Depending on each person, as well as the area being treated, the results last for 4 to 12 months.
  • This is a quick procedure with little to no downtime and a noticeable improvement if the treatment works for you. No treatment works for everyone
