Your best look is coming into focus
Botox is widely recognized for reducing wrinkles, but its ability to block nerve signals has made it useful for other medical concerns. At Pure 111 Medical Aesthetics, we use Botox for excessive sweating. When injected into the armpits, Botox can reduce excess perspiration and help you stay dry throughout the day. Other areas we have treated include palms, groin, glutes, hair line, and soles of feet. This option is useful for patients who are unable to manage sweating with topical products or other solutions.
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating beyond what the body needs to regulate temperature. It can affect the underarms, hands, feet, face, and other areas. This condition can be caused by overactive nerves in the sweat glands and may occur without a clear trigger, or as a result of medications or other medical conditions. Hyperhidrosis can affect people of all ages and backgrounds, regardless of overall health.
We inject Botox into the skin where sweating is most severe, typically under the arms. The goal is to block the nerve signals that activate your sweat glands. Treatment is done in-office and does not require downtime, though you may feel minor pinching during the injections.
Botox for hyperhidrosis interferes with the chemical signals that tell your sweat glands to activate. When these signals are blocked, the glands remain inactive, reducing moisture in the targeted area. The effects are localized, meaning you still sweat normally in untreated parts of the body. Most patients begin to notice a difference within a few days, with full results typically developing over one to two weeks. Most patients return every four to six months to maintain dryness, though timing can vary depending on how your body responds.
