HYPERHIDROSIS (Excessive Sweating)

Excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis, is more than a minor annoyance — it can affect your daily activities, self-confidence, and overall quality of life. This condition most commonly affects areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, and face. Our skilled team at Dermatic Aesthetics provides a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment with injections designed to help you regain comfort and confidence. Botox injections have been FDA-approved to treat hyperhidrosis of the underarms.

How It Works:

  • Botox is a neurotoxin that temporarily blocks acetylcholine, the chemical responsible for activating sweat glands.
  • By inhibiting sweat production, it reduces excessive sweating in the treated area.

Treatment Areas:

  • Commonly treated areas include the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis), palms (palmar hyperhidrosis), and feet (plantar hyperhidrosis).

Procedure:

  • Small amounts of Botox are injected directly into the affected area.
  • The number of injections and dosage depend on the severity of sweating and the size of the treatment area.
  • The procedure is typically quick and minimally invasive.

Results:

  • Most patients notice a significant reduction in sweating within a few days.
  • Effects generally last 4–6 months, with repeat treatments needed to maintain results.

Side Effects:

  • Common side effects are usually mild and include temporary pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.
  • Rarely, Botox may cause muscle weakness or paralysis.
