For a while now, Botox has been used to treat hyperhidrosis in patients where topical solutions just aren’t doing the trick.
Botox is FDA approved to treat underarm sweating and only your dermatologist will be able to tell you whether or not you’re a good candidate for this treatment plan.
Here’s how it works…
The Botox neurotoxin helps control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the overactive sweat glands don’t receive chemical signals, the excessive sweating stops.
Your dermatologist will schedule an appointment in their office where the problem area will first be numbed with quick injections (shown below) and then treated with the Botox injections.
The videos below demonstrate a few botox treatment performed at various dermotologist offices. Just a heads up – if you’re squeamish about seeing needles, you may want to skip the videos.
However, if you’re seriously considering Botox for your excessive sweating, check them out to get an idea of what this procedure involves…
You’ll notice that first the technician numbs the area with a suction cup looking injection gun. This is usually the only uncomfortable part during the treatment. After the area is numbed, you shouldn’t feel anything at all. You may have some soreness later in the day after the numbness wears off.
There might be a tiny bit of bleeding from the injection site. This is normal and should stop within a half hour after the treatment is over.
This last video gives you a bit more insight. The patient here, Jennifer, explains that Botox cut down on her sweating almost 100%.
This video also reveals a VERY important aspect of Botox — it’s temporary!
If you’re looking to start up with Botox treatments, you should be aware of the pros AND cons so let me just outline them right now.
Does it Really Work?
Botox Works! It cuts down on sweating for MOST people
How Long Does it Last For?
Botox Treatments stop sweating for only about 6-7 months before you’ll need to go back and reapply.
How Much Does it Cost?
It’s expensive! Without insurance coverage, Botox costs about $1500 per area. So that would be around $1500 for your armpits and another $1500 for your hands and another $1500 for your feet etc. If you really want to try out Botox, talk with your insurance provider and see how much coverage you’ll get to find out if it’s economically feasible.
I like spreading the word on Botox because it IS so effective. However, because of the high pricetag, it’s not always so realistic. You’ll definitely want to try out my more convenient and natural sweat solutions before opting in to this high price alternative.
What Does the Same Job for LESS Money?
Because of the crazy expense of Botox, for hand sweating, I specifically recommend the Cure My Sweaty Palms treatment plan.
Using this specific hand sweating treatment, I knocked out a major area of my hyperhidrosis in a matter of days. Yes, I still had excessive facial sweating to deal with afterwards, but conquering my palmer hyperhidrosis was a cinch using this guide.
I wouldn’t be doing you right if I kept this hidden tactic a secret from you so if you’re not quite ready for botox but you DO want to eliminate palm sweating, check out the Cure My Sweaty Palms treatment plan HERE.

Botox(sometimes known as botax) injections are commonly performed and generally safe. Just like any other medical procedure, Botox is not without its share of side effects. The side effects are not life-threatening but they can affect your quality of life. If Botox side effects occur, they’re usually temporary starting within the first days of injection, but may persist for several months.
I dont know about Botox ….But I certainly hope that the 24V treatment does work for me ..I am really desperate …..
Its been 5days now ..No improvement so far ..Hoping it will get better in another 5days alteast ..I am prepared even to do it for a month provided it will pay …
If it works ..I will tell the world …its wonderful..
If it doesnt ..I will be really disappointed
its so annoying having sweaty hands but what are the side effects of getting botox
i really appreciate your info that you gave to me,,but honestly cant afford that,,hope u have more info that i can apply,,and im willing to try it,right now im so disappointed of my self i feel my life is terrible…
I am suffering from excessive palm and feet sweating since childhood. Really want to get rid of this thing as it is so embarassing and hinders my day to day work. I am still to try out the natural treatments prescribed by Mr.Jason before going for such expensive treatments as Botox.
The key, Deepak, is taking action. I know I sound like a broken record but until you start actually trying the techniques detailed in this blog, you’ll just be sitting by the sidelines waiting for a miracle to spontaneously occur.
Progress isn’t made like that. The only way to improve your sweating situation is to dig in and start getting to work. I’ve given you the steps but I can’t carry them out for you – that’s YOUR responsibility
Best of Luck!
Can’t afford? Raquel there are soooo many free solutions on every page of this website. You don’t have to buy an e-book to solve this problem. The only reason why I even promote the ebooks on this site is because it condenses all the information into a simple, organized program.
That said, if you fish around on the blog, you’ll find more than enough alternatives to get you dry and sweat free in a fast, affordable way. Take care!
