What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating beyond what the body needs for temperature regulation.

Common areas affected include:

• Underarms
• Hands (palmar hyperhidrosis)
• Feet (plantar hyperhidrosis)
• Forehead and face

People with hyperhidrosis may sweat even when they are not exercising or exposed to heat, which can affect work, social situations, and overall confidence.

Many patients seek treatment after over-the-counter and prescription antiperspirants fail to provide relief.

How Botox Treats Excessive Sweating

Botox works by temporarily blocking the chemical signals that activate sweat glands.

When injected into the affected area, Botox prevents the nerves from triggering sweat production. As a result, sweating in the treated area is dramatically reduced.

Benefits of Botox for hyperhidrosis include:

• Up to 80% reduction in sweating
• Quick in-clinic procedure
• Minimal downtime
• Long-lasting results
• Safe and Health Canada-approved treatment

Results typically begin within 3–7 days after treatment.

Areas We Treat for Hyperhidrosis

At Vitality Skin Bar, Botox can be used to treat excessive sweating in several areas:

Underarm Hyperhidrosis

Underarm sweating is the most common area treated with Botox. Injections are placed just beneath the skin to reduce sweat gland activity.

Hand Sweating

Palmar hyperhidrosis can make it difficult to shake hands, hold objects, or work comfortably. Botox injections can significantly reduce hand sweating.

Foot Sweating

Plantar hyperhidrosis affects the soles of the feet and can lead to discomfort and odor. Botox can help reduce sweat production in this area.

Facial Sweating

Botox may also be used to treat excessive sweating on the forehead or scalp.

How Long Does Botox for Hyperhidrosis Last?

Results typically last 4 to 6 months, depending on the individual and the area treated.

Many patients schedule maintenance treatments twice per year to maintain consistent sweat reduction.

Botox vs miraDry for Hyperhidrosis

Patients often ask about the difference between Botox and miraDry.

Botox

• Temporary sweat reduction
• Lasts 4–6 months

miraDry

During the procedure:

1. The treatment area is cleaned and marked.
