Discomfort is usually minimal, like small pinches. Ice may be used for comfort.

Will I look fake or frozen?

No. Treatment targets sweat glands, not facial muscles, so appearance remains natural.

Mild redness, bruising, or temporary swelling may occur and usually resolves quickly.

Is there downtime or restrictions?

Minimal downtime. Most patients continue daily routines immediately.

How Does Botox for Sweating Work?

Axillary hyperhidrosis is caused by overactive sweat glands stimulated by the nervous system. When injected into the underarm sweat gland area, Botox blocks the release of acetylcholine → reduces sweat production → decreases perspiration → restores comfort and confidence.

Treatment Dosage Guidelines

45–50 units

per axilla (men and women)

90–100 units

About 20 intradermal injection points per axilla
