Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can affect your comfort, confidence, and daily activities. Many people experience constant sweating under their arms, palms, feet, or other areas, often unrelated to temperature, exercise, or stress. At SkinMD, we offer an effective, non-surgical solution using neuromodulator injections (Dysport or Botox) to reduce overactive sweat gland activity and help you sweat less and maintain comfort and confidence throughout the day.
Excessive sweating is a medical condition where the sweat glands produce more sweat than the body needs to regulate temperature. This can occur in the underarms, hands, feet, scalp, or face, and often persists in cool environments. For many individuals, hyperhidrosis interferes with clothing choices, work, social interactions, and overall quality of life. Dysport and Botox work by reducing sweat production by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate overactive sweat glands.
Although sweating is a natural function, excessive sweating can appear in specific areas where the sweat glands are highly concentrated. Hyperhidrosis commonly affects:
During your consultation, your SkinMD provider will assess the areas causing symptoms and determine whether Dysport / Botox is the right solution for your needs.
Dysport or Botox provides significant and long-lasting relief for patients struggling with excessive perspiration.
Benefits include:
Many patients choose Dysport or Botox because it offers fast improvements without the need for topical medications or invasive procedures.
During your appointment, your provider will gently inject small amounts of Dysport or Botox just below the skin’s surface in the area being treated. These injections temporarily interrupt the nerve signals that stimulate sweat production. The procedure typically takes 20 to 30 minutes to complete, depending on the treatment area. Most patients experience only brief sensitivity and can resume normal activities immediately after the appointment. Results begin to appear within 2 to 4 days, with full dryness achieved in about 7 to 10 days. Maintenance treatments are recommended twice per year to keep sweating consistently under control.
