Before Your Treatment

Avoid Blood Thinners
Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications or supplements (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or vitamin E) for 5-7 days before your treatment to minimize bruising.

Shave the Treatment Area (if underarms)
If treating the underarms, shave the area 24-48 hours before your appointment. Avoid applying deodorant or antiperspirant on the day of treatment.

Limit Alcohol and Smoking
Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 24 hours prior to the procedure to optimize results and reduce swelling.

Discuss Medications and Medical History
Inform your provider of any medications, allergies, or medical conditions during your consultation to ensure the treatment is suitable for you.

Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment to help your body prepare for the procedure.

During Your Treatment

Consultation and Preparation
Your provider will assess the treatment area and discuss your goals. The area will be cleansed, and a numbing agent may be applied to enhance comfort.

Injection Process
Using a fine needle, Botox® will be carefully injected into the targeted area. The injections are strategically placed to address the overactive sweat glands effectively.

Quick and Minimally Invasive
The procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated, and involves minimal discomfort.

After Your Treatment

Avoid Heat and Exercise
Refrain from hot showers, saunas, or intense workouts for 24-48 hours after treatment to reduce irritation and promote healing.

Skip Deodorants or Antiperspirants (if underarms)
Avoid using deodorants or antiperspirants for 24 hours after treatment.

Do Not Massage the Area
Avoid rubbing, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated area for at least 24 hours to ensure optimal results.

Manage Mild Side Effects
Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur at the injection sites and typically resolves within 1-2 days. A cold compress can be applied to soothe any discomfort.

Resume Normal Activities
Most patients can return to their normal routine immediately after treatment, with proper aftercare.

Expected Results

Onset of Results
You’ll begin to notice a reduction in sweating within 3-7 days after the treatment, with full results appearing after about 2 weeks.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How does Botox® reduce excessive sweating?

Botox® works by blocking the chemical signals from nerves to sweat glands in the treated area. This prevents the glands from producing excessive sweat, effectively reducing perspiration for several months.

How long does the treatment take, and is there any downtime?

The treatment typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. There is minimal downtime, and most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?

Results usually begin to appear within 3-7 days, with full effects visible after 2 weeks. The results typically last 4-6 months, after which follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain the effects.

Is the treatment painful?

Most patients find the procedure to be well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. If needed, a numbing agent can be applied to the treatment area to enhance comfort during the injections.
