Yes Botox works really well for excessive sweating.It blocks nerve signals that tell your sweat glands to kick in. Results stick around 6-12 months depending on where you get it done. Armpits respond best. Palms work too but they need more units. Most people notice 80-90% less sweating within a week.
According to Dr. Geeta Grewal, Cosmetologist in Gurgaon, “Excessive sweating ruins confidence. I’ve seen patients who won’t shake hands or raise their arms in public. Botox changes that completely. One session and they’re dry for months.”
How Does Botox Stop Sweating?
Your brain sends signals through nerves telling sweat glands to produce sweatBotox blocks those signals.No signal means no sweat. Pretty simple actually.
The medical term is hyperhidrosis. About 3% of people have it. Some sweat through shirts in minutes. Others can’t hold a pen because their palms are soaking. Antiperspirants? Useless. Regular deodorants don’t do anything either.
Mechanism: Botox temporarily paralyzes tiny muscles around sweat glands.
Areas: Armpits, palms, feet, forehead, under breasts.
Duration: Armpits get 6-12 months. Palms usually 4-6 months.
Results: Dryness kicks in within 3-5 days. Full effect by day 14.
And here’s something most people don’t know. If you’re considering Botox treatment in Gurgaon for sweating, this is actually FDA-approved. It’s not just cosmetic.It’s medical.
What to Expect During Treatment?
Armpits take about 20 minutes.Palms take a bit longer because they’re more sensitive.
Before: Shave armpits 2-3 days before. Skip deodorant on treatment day. Wear a dark loose shirt.
During: Dr. Grewal marks a grid on the sweaty area. She injects small amounts at each point. Armpits need 50-100 units per side. Palms need 100-150 units per hand.
Pain? Armpits feel like tiny pinches. Palms hurt more but numbing cream helps a lot.
After: Zero downtime. Go back to work same day. Just skip the gym and hot showers for 24 hours.
Lots of patients combine this with other treatments while they’re at it. Check out Botox after 20 years if you’re curious about long-term use.
