Confidence boost: Enjoy social events, presentations, and workouts without worrying about visible sweat marks or damp handshakes.

FDA-approved for under-arm hyperhidrosis: Backed by decades of safety data and performed under the guidance of Dr. Susana Querido, Board-Certified Family, Aesthetic & Anti-Aging Physician at Greenwich MD.
Botulinum toxin type A (Botox®) blocks the nerve signals that tell your eccrine sweat glands to turn on. Fewer signals → less perspiration → drier shirts, palms, or feet.
| Key Facts | Details |
|---|---|
| Treatment areas | Under-arms (primary FDA-approved site) • Palms • Soles • Forehead / hairline |
| Number of injections | Multiple tiny “bleb” injections spaced 1 cm apart across the treatment zone |
| Anesthesia | None needed—most patients tolerate the micro-needle well |
| Session time | ~15 minutes chair-time |
| Recovery | Same day • mild swelling or red bumps fade within a few hours |
| Full result | Noticeable dryness within days; maximum effect at ~3 weeks |
| Duration | Typically 3–4 months before sensation of wetness returns |
| Maintenance | Repeat when sweating gradually resumes; timing varies by metabolism & lifestyle |
You may be an ideal candidate if:
Prescription-strength antiperspirants do not control your sweating.
Excess perspiration disrupts daily life—work, social events, or clothing choices.
You want a nonsurgical solution with minimal downtime.
Note: Botox treats the symptom (sweat) but not the underlying glands permanently. Results are temporary and retreatment is needed to stay dry.
| Step | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Consultation | Dr. Querido reviews your medical history, confirms primary focal hyperhidrosis, and maps sweat zones with a starch-iodine test if needed. |
| Quick injections | A fine insulin-style needle delivers precise micro-doses just beneath the skin. |
| Back to life | No bandages, no downtime. Resume normal activity immediately. |
| Check-in call | We schedule a two-week check-in to ensure sweat is under control and perform a touch-up if required (rare). |

It temporarily blocks the nerve signals that tell your sweat glands to activate, so the treated area produces far less perspiration until the nerves regenerate.
FDA-approved for underarms; commonly used “off-label” (with physician guidance) on palms, soles, and the hairline/forehead for medical, not cosmetic, reasons.
Most patients begin to feel drier within 3–7 days, with full dryness typically reached by about three weeks.
Results vary, but dryness generally persists 3 to 4 months before a maintenance session is needed.
Discomfort is minimal—tiny needles and no anesthesia required. Any small stinging or redness usually fades within a few hours.
No. Only a small percentage of your total sweat glands are treated, so your body can still cool itself naturally elsewhere.
None. You can return to work and normal activities the same day—just avoid vigorous exercise or hot saunas for 24 hours.
Dosage is individualized. Your provider will determine the exact number of Botox units based on the size of the treatment zone and your sweating severity.
Sometimes. Coverage policies differ, so check with your insurer; we can supply documentation confirming medical necessity for excessive underarm sweating.
People with certain neuromuscular disorders, active skin infections at the injection site, or allergies to any Botox ingredients should avoid treatment. A consultation will clarify if it’s safe for you.
