If you’re one of the many people who suffer from excessive underarm sweating, otherwise termed hyperhidrosis, then you are not alone. According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, nearly three percent of people are unable to control their excessive sweating. Common sites include the underarms, palms and soles of the feet. It causes people sweat up to five times as much as normal!

What Causes Excessive Sweating?

Hyperhidrosis can occur without a clear cause, which is referred to as primary hyperhidrosis. In these cases, the nerves responsible for signaling your sweat glands become overactive—even when you’re not overheated or exercising.

Common Treatments for Hyperhidrosis

There are several options available to help manage excessive underarm sweating:

1. Prescription-Strength Antiperspirants

Topical treatments like Drysol (an aluminum chloride solution) are often the first recommendation. While these can be effective for some, they often cause skin irritation or redness, especially in sensitive areas like the underarms.

2. Botox for Underarm Sweating

Botox is FDA-approved to treat underarm hyperhidrosis and is considered one of the most effective non-surgical solutions. When injected into the affected area, Botox temporarily blocks the nerve signals that trigger sweat production. Most patients experience a significant reduction in sweating for up to six months after treatment.

Other neuromodulators such as Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau may also be used depending on your specific needs and preferences.

Why Choose Botox for Excessive Sweating?

  • Clinically proven to significantly reduce sweat production

  • Minimally invasive, with little to no downtime

  • Long-lasting relief, with results that typically last 4–6 months

  • Improves quality of life, especially in social and professional settings
