Quick answer
How does Botox reduce excessive sweating?
Botulinum toxin blocks acetylcholine, the nerve messenger that tells eccrine sweat glands to produce sweat. Injected in a fine grid just under the skin, it can greatly reduce sweating in focal areas such as the underarms, palms, soles and forehead or scalp line.
The treatment is targeted: each area is planned separately with its own dose and comfort measures. For a detailed look at the most common area, see underarm hyperhidrosis Botox.

Before & after
How Botox controls sweating
Sweat glands in the treated skin stop receiving the signal to activate, so the area stays dry while the rest of the body cools normally.
Sweating starts to reduce.
Treated areas feel dry.
Gradual return; repeat as needed.

FAQ
Sweat Botox questions
Which areas can be treated?
Underarms, palms, soles of the feet, and the forehead or scalp line are the most common. Each area is dosed separately.
Is it safe to stop sweating there?
Yes. These areas make up a small portion of your sweat glands, so your body can still regulate temperature.
Which area hurts most?
Palms and soles are the most sensitive, so we use stronger numbing measures there. Underarms are usually easy.
Can I combine several areas in one visit?
Often yes, within safe total doses. The doctor may suggest staging areas if needed.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
