What is a Botox Treatment for Excessive Sweating?

Botox for excessive sweating is a safe and effective treatment for people who struggle with overactive sweat glands, particularly under the arms, on the hands, or on the feet. During the treatment, Botox is injected into the sweat glands, temporarily blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweating. This reduces sweat production and helps prevent uncomfortable sweat stains.

How Does a Botox Treatment for Excessive Sweating Work?

During the treatment, Botox is injected with a fine needle into the sweat glands of the affected area. Botox temporarily blocks the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands, reducing sweat production. The procedure usually takes 20 to 30 minutes, and there is no downtime. You can continue with your daily activities immediately after the treatment.

Results of a Hyperhidrosis Treatment

The full effect of a Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis is usually noticeable after two weeks. You’ll find that you sweat significantly less and no longer have to worry about unpleasant odours or sweat stains on your clothing. This gives you the freedom to wear any colour of clothing without concern. The effects typically last for three to four months. After this period, if desired, a follow-up treatment can be performed to reduce excessive sweating again.

Aftercare

After a treatment for excessive sweating, it’s important to follow a few aftercare instructions: Cool the treated area to reduce swelling and redness, Use a bruise cream to minimise any discoloration, Avoid smoking for the first 4–6 hours and strenuous physical activity for the first 24 hours, Avoid sauna sessions, sunbeds, and facial treatments during the first two weeks after your treatment, For the first night, try to sleep on your back with an extra pillow to help reduce swelling.

Is Botox for Excessive Sweating Covered by Insurance?

Whether a Botox treatment for excessive sweating is covered depends on your health insurance provider and the severity of your symptoms. Some insurers may provide coverage, particularly if the hyperhidrosis is severe and other treatments have not been effective. Excessive sweating can be very disruptive and may have several causes, including genetics, medical conditions, hormonal or nerve disorders, or certain medications. Before your treatment, check with your insurance provider to see if your situation qualifies for coverage and to understand the specific conditions that apply.

Scientific Evidence for Botox Treatment of Hyperhidrosis

A Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis temporarily blocks nerve signals to the sweat glands, reducing excessive sweating. At the cellular level, this occurs by inhibiting SNAP-25, which prevents the release of acetylcholine. Botox is biocompatible and is broken down locally in the body. Clinical studies show long-lasting effectiveness (Naumann et al., Br J Dermatol, 2013).

Deleted my old review (I kept it at the bottom) and updated it because I’ve now seen a few doctors here!

Today I had an appointment with Dr Hursh Joshi. I really enjoyed the entire process - although I was coming in for things I already had done before I had a lot of questions about future treatments and they were all answered with really in depth information. I got the usual Botox: masseters, 3 areas, hyperhidrosis, and profhilo. What is really unique about this doctor is he does and tries treatments himself but you wouldn’t know unless he told you (which is what I want my own face to look like). It really makes you feel at ease. I much prefer my doctor to have been in the chair himself or herself so I feel any recommendations are genuine and they truly understand the pain with needles. He was very gentle with the needle and I had no bruising (rare for me - I bruise when the wind blows it feels like). I really like Sisu clinic and the doctors they choose - Dr Hursh was very kind and like with Dr Maude I felt seen and heard (as well as treated 😁) and it honestly makes all the difference during and post treatment. I left feeling more positive than when I came in.

Anyway with the great doctors and painless treatments plus booking is so easy it’s a no brainer for me to come to this location as I travel a lot and never know super in advance when I can have the time to do treatments. When I am in London I come from Walthamstow to do my appts so it’s literally 35 mins door to door on the vicky line!! Easy. Thanks guys 🫶🏻

Old review from May 2025: Had an appointment with Dr Maude for polynucleotides - injections were really painless and very rarely I was not bruised the next day. I was able to ask all the questions I wanted and there was always an answer - the doc really takes pride in getting all the latest info so I feel confident in coming back! Some providers will stop learning once they are settled with their clients and it’s encouraging to see young doctors wanting to get the best for their patients Show less »

I highly recommend this clinic to all who are looking for underarms Botox. The treatment was throughly explained to me and clearly managing my expectations.

I recently had Botox treatment for underarm sweating at Cleage Clinic and the results have been incredible. Excessive sweating had been a problem for me for years, it affected what I wore, my social confidence, and even my work life. I used to avoid certain clothes and colours, and I was constantly worried about visible sweat patches no matter the weather or situation. From the moment I arrived, the clinic team made me feel at ease. Everything was explained thoroughly, including how the treatment works, what the procedure involves, and what kind of results I could expect. The environment was clean, professional, and very reassuring.
The procedure itself was quick, precise, and much less uncomfortable than I expected. The injections only took a few minutes, and while there was some slight tingling, it was very manageable. I was able to return to my normal activities immediately after.
Within about 10–14 days, I started noticing the difference , the sweating under my arms had reduced dramatically. Now, several weeks later, I hardly sweat at all in that area. It has given me such a boost in confidence and freedom; I can wear whatever I like without worrying, and I feel comfortable in social and professional situations where before I would have felt anxious. The aftercare provided by the clinic was also excellent, with clear instructions and the reassurance that I could get in touch if I had any concerns.
This treatment has genuinely been life-changing for me, and I would highly recommend Cleage Clinic to anyone who struggles with underarm sweating. It is such a simple procedure with such a powerful impact on quality of life. Show less »

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Rupesh at the London Lip Clinic. I had been struggling with excessive underarm sweating for a long time—it was really uncomfortable and started affecting my confidence. I tried different roll-ons recommended by my GP, but nothing worked.

A friend of mine mentioned that her sister had the same issue and got treated by Dr. Rupesh with Botox for hyperhidrosis, and it worked really well for her. That gave me the push I needed to book a consultation.

Honestly, I wasn’t sure if the treatment would work for me, and I was also a bit scared about the pain and the whole process. But Dr. Rupesh was incredibly patient, kind, and professional. He took the time to explain everything in detail and really helped put my mind at ease.

He mentioned that results can start showing anywhere from 5 days to 3 weeks, depending on the person. For me, I noticed a difference the very next day! It’s now been 3 weeks since my treatment, and I haven’t experienced any sweating at all—I’m honestly so happy with the results.

I highly recommend Dr. Rupesh and the team at London Lip Clinic. Thank you so much for looking after me! Show less »

I’ve had an amazing experience at [Mel advanced clinic]! From start to finish, the staff were warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. I came in for laser hair removal, underarm Botox, and a facial — and each service exceeded my expectations.
The laser hair removal was virtually painless and surprisingly quick. I noticed a reduction in hair growth after just a few sessions, and the technician made sure I was comfortable the entire time.
I also had underarm Botox done to help with excessive sweating — game changer! The results kicked in fast and have made such a difference in my confidence, especially during warmer months.
And the facial? Absolutely glowing afterwards. My skin felt clean, hydrated, and refreshed, and I really appreciated how personalized the treatment was to my skin type.
Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for top-tier aesthetic treatments in a clean, welcoming environment. I’ll definitely be coming back! Show less »

From the moment I first engaged with ANew Clinics, I was blown away, not just by the in-person experience, but by the entire journey leading up to my appointment.

Their communication, flexibility, and transparency on costs and suitability for my health conditions and medications were outstanding. I felt supported and reassured before I even walked through the door.

I visited to discuss excessive sweating, an issue that has impacted my confidence for over a year. As someone who speaks publicly and attends many events, this has been particularly challenging. What struck me immediately was that Dr. Aak put my wellbeing first, even recommending a treatment she does not personally provide, because it could be more beneficial for me. That honesty built instant trust and set the tone for the rest of my experience.
Dr. Aak’s expertise comes not just from her training, professional and educational journey, but from her personal journey overcoming gaps in skin treatment solutions that she personally was experiencing. Her passion for empowering others to look after their skin shines through in everything she does. During my consultation, she conducted detailed skin scans and explained the long-term impact of neglecting underlying issues, an eye-opening and educational moment that shifted my perspective. For the first time, I truly appreciated the importance of investing in my skin and confidence.
She also took time to ask about my long-term medications, highlighting how they might be affecting my skin and overall health, something I had never considered. Her recommendation of hypochlorous, a natural and affordable product already produced by our skin, was tailored perfectly to my needs.
What truly impressed me was the combination of medical expertise, compassion, and genuine care for clients. The entire team made me feel at ease, valued, and empowered. As a female business owner, it was inspiring to see another woman invest so deeply in her own expertise, tools, and client relationships, not just aiming for quick results, but for long-term impact.

I left not only with several treatments and high-quality products, but also with a renewed sense of confidence and a commitment to prioritizing my wellbeing. If we can spend on things that don’t truly serve us, why wouldn’t we invest in something as essential as our health and skin.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Aak and her incredible team at ANew Clinics. They deliver not just treatments, but trust, education, and empowerment.

I support her desire to grow a full wellness service! Show less »

I’ve been seeing Dr. Tim Beazleigh at the Melior Clinic for treatment of my hyperhidrosis, and I honestly can’t recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, Tim has been incredibly responsive to my needs. He’s a fantastic listener, always takes the time to really understand how I’m feeling, and creates a calm, comfortable environment every time I visit.

What stands out most is not only his professionalism, but his personal touch. Our chats are always a highlight of my appointments – he’s warm, personable, and genuinely caring. It’s clear he takes great pride in his work, and the way he administers treatment is consistently to the highest standard.

I once tried going elsewhere for treatment, and although the experience itself was pleasant enough, the results simply didn’t compare. The treatment didn’t work as effectively or last as long. It made me realise just how skilled Tim truly is – he knows exactly what he’s doing and has years of experience to back it up.

Now, I wouldn’t go to anyone else. Every visit is a positive experience, and I always leave feeling confident that I’m in the best hands. If you’re considering treatment, don’t hesitate – Dr. Beazleigh is exceptional. Thanks Tim!

I’ve never had any aesthetics procedures before so I was a bit worried about having Botox treatment, however after struggling with sweating; I’d looked into having hyperhidrosis, found Cheryl and gave it a go! I’m so glad I did because Cheryl was so lovely. She reassured me throughout the treatment, consistently checked in with me and explained everything throughly. It was a very quick treatment and there was no pain, just slight discomfort at points. I’m so so happy with the results! I have had absolutely no break outs of sweat or odor and I feel so much better in myself and my confidence, being able to wear what I want, as a young adult, with no concerns. Thank you so much to Cheryl, I would recommend her to anyone. Show less »
