What Is Underarm Botox?
Underarm Botox is an FDA-approved treatment for excessive underarm sweating, known as axillary hyperhidrosis.
Hyperhidrosis is caused by overactive sweat glands due to excessive nerve signaling, often occurring without heat or physical activity.
Small injections of botulinum toxin are placed just beneath the skin to block these signals and reduce sweat production. The result is significantly less sweating in the treated area while normal body temperature regulation is preserved.

Right for you?
Blocks Sweat Signals
Botox temporarily disables the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands, preventing excessive sweat production in the treated area.
Precision Micro-Injections
Small amounts of Botox are placed just beneath the skin using precise micro-injections to ensure effective coverage without affecting surrounding tissues
If excessive underarm sweating interferes with daily life, clothing choices, professional settings, or confidence and does not respond to topical treatments, Botox for hyperhidrosis may be an effective non-surgical option
This treatment is commonly chosen by patients who:
- Sweat excessively without clear triggers
- Have tried prescription or clinical-strength antiperspirants without success
- Want long-lasting relief without downtime
Recovery
There is little to no downtime following treatment.
Most patients return to normal activities immediately. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at injection sites may occur and typically resolves within hours to several days.
Results
Sweat reduction typically begins within several days, with full results developing over one to two weeks.
Patients often experience a dramatic decrease in underarm sweating, improving comfort, clothing flexibility, and confidence.
