What is Sweating Botox?
Sweating Botox is a medical adaptation of Botulinum toxin injections traditionally used for aesthetic purposes. In sweating reduction, the toxin is injected just beneath the skin where it blocks acetylcholine signals — the chemical messenger nerves use to activate sweat glands. With fewer signals reaching the sweat glands, sweating in the treated area is significantly reduced or temporarily halted.
How Sweating Botox Works – Quick & Effective Mechanism
Consultation & Assessment: Dr. Tuncay Dagel evaluates your sweating pattern and identifies ideal treatment areas.
Micro-Injections: Tiny Botulinum toxin injections are administered into the dermis (skin layer) of the targeted zone.
Block Sweat Signals: The toxin prevents nerve signals from stimulating sweat glands, dramatically reducing perspiration output.
Results Emerge: Most patients notice improvement within a few days, with full effects typically visible within 1–2 weeks.
Benefits of Sweating Botox Treatment
✅ Significant Sweat Reduction – Many people experience up to 80–90% less sweating in treated areas.
✅ Non-Surgical & Minimally Invasive – A quick clinic visit with tiny injections, no incisions, and minimal downtime.
✅ Long-Lasting Results – Results can last between 4 to 12+ months, with repeat treatments helping to maintain dryness.
✅ Improved Confidence & Comfort – Fewer sweat marks, less body odor, and greater confidence in daily activities.
✅ Minimal Impact on Body Thermoregulation – Targeted sweat reduction doesn’t affect overall body cooling.
Areas Commonly Treated
- Underarms (Axillary Hyperhidrosis) – Most common and highly effective region.
- Hands (Palmar Hyperhidrosis) – Can reduce sweaty palms but may require careful technique.Feet (Plantar Hyperhidrosis)
- Face or Scalp (Craniofacial Hyperhidrosis)

FAQ's About Sweating Botox (Hyperhidrosis Treatment)
Sweating Botox is a safe, effective, and clinically proven treatment for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). By temporarily blocking the nerves that stimulate sweat glands, Botox significantly reduces sweating in targeted areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, and forehead. Below, you’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions about Sweating Botox to help you make an informed decision.
What is Sweating Botox?
Sweating Botox is a non-surgical medical treatment that uses botulinum toxin to block the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands. This results in a significant reduction in excessive sweating in the treated area.
Which areas can be treated with Sweating Botox?
Sweating Botox is commonly used to treat:
Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
Palms of the hands
Soles of the feet
Forehead and scalp
Who is a good candidate for Sweating Botox?
Ideal candidates are individuals who experience excessive sweating that interferes with daily life and has not responded well to antiperspirants or topical treatments. A medical consultation is required to confirm suitability.
How does Sweating Botox work?
Botox blocks acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that activates sweat glands. When these nerve signals are interrupted, the sweat glands become temporarily inactive, reducing sweat production.
Is the procedure painful?
Discomfort is minimal. Very fine needles are used, and a topical anesthetic or cooling technique may be applied, especially for sensitive areas such as the hands and feet.
How long does the treatment take?
The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes, depending on the size and number of treated areas.
When will I see results?
Results usually begin within 3–7 days, with maximum effect seen in about 2 weeks after treatment.
How long do the results last?
The effects of Sweating Botox generally last 4–6 months, and sometimes longer in underarm treatments. Repeat sessions help maintain long-term control.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are usually mild and temporary, including slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. Serious complications are rare when performed by a qualified medical professional.
Will Sweating Botox cause sweating in other areas?
No. Botox does not cause compensatory sweating in other areas. It only affects the treated region.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
There is minimal to no downtime. Most patients can return to daily activities immediately, though intense exercise should be avoided for 24 hours.
Can Sweating Botox be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Sweating Botox can safely be combined with other aesthetic or medical treatments, depending on individual needs and treatment planning.
Is Sweating Botox safe?
Yes. Botox is FDA-approved and widely used worldwide for the treatment of hyperhidrosis. When administered by an experienced medical professional, it is both safe and effective.
