Stay Dry and Feel Confident with
Botox for Hyperhidrosis
At Dr. Syra Aesthetics & Longevity Institute, led by Dr. Hanif, we offer a highly effective solution for those struggling with hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes excessive sweating in areas like the underarms, hands, and feet. Botox works by blocking the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands, helping you stay dry and regain your confidence.
What Is Botox and How
Does It Help with Hyperhidrosis?
Botox injections are commonly used to manage excessive sweating by temporarily stopping the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands. This is done by blocking the release of acetylcholine, the chemical responsible for making you sweat. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, and results typically start showing in a few days to two weeks. Commonly treated areas include the underarms, hands, feet, and forehead.
How Is Hyperhidrosis Treated
with Botox?
During the treatment, Botox is injected directly into the areas affected by excessive sweating. A fine needle is used to make several small
injections just beneath the skin. The amount of Botox units depends on how severe your sweating is and which areas are being treated. You’ll typically start seeing results within a few days.
How Many Units of Botox Are
Needed for Underarm Sweating?
For underarm hyperhidrosis, most patients require between 50 and 100 units of Botox per underarm. The exact dosage will
vary based on the severity of the condition and how your body responds to the treatment. Your provider will assess your condition
and determine the best dosage for you.
How Long Do Botox
Results for Hyperhidrosis Last?
Botox results for hyperhidrosis can last anywhere
from 4 to 12 months. Most people notice reduced sweating within a few days, with peak results happening around two weeks after the treatment. The duration of results can differ depending on the area treated and how your body metabolizes the Botox.
Recovery After
Botox for Hyperhidrosis
The recovery period* is minimal. Most people can
go back to their daily activities right after the treatment. However, it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, very hot environments, and activities that cause excessive sweating for 24 hours after the procedure to ensure optimal results. Some people may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites, but these effects
usually go away within a few days.
What to Expect During a
Botox Treatment for Hyperhidrosis

Your provider will examine
the areas where you sweat excessively and determine how much Botox is needed.
Injections
A small needle is used to
administer the Botox in the targeted areas. The number of injections depends on the size of the area being treated.
Duration
The entire procedure usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
Preparation

Post-Treatment
You can return to your regular activities right away, but it’s recommended to avoid strenuous activities and hot environments for the first 24 hours.
Results
You should start seeing less sweating in a few days,
with full results visible in one to two weeks.

I loved my first experience at Syra Aesthetic! I had Dr. Hanif as my provider, and she thoroughly educated me on a treatment plan for my concerns. We did a Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling treatment, and I loved the results. I have already booked another treatment in a month from now!
