Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can be treated with various non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures. One effective treatment for sweaty arms and palms is the injection of botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox) into the affected areas to temporarily block the nerves responsible for overactive sweat glands.
This procedure involves administering multiple small injections directly into the skin where sweating occurs. The treatment takes about 20-30 minutes, and the results can last from 4 to 6 months, significantly reducing sweat production and improving comfort and confidence.
In addition to Botox, other effective treatments for hyperhidrosis include:
Iontophoresis: This treatment uses mild electrical currents passed through water and into the skin to reduce excessive sweating in the hands and feet.
Prescription Antiperspirants: These are stronger than over-the-counter options and can help control excessive sweating when applied regularly to problem areas.
Here are some commonly asked questions about hyperhidrosis treatment and its benefits.
Yes, Botox is FDA-approved and highly effective for reducing excessive sweating in the palms and other areas affected by hyperhidrosis.
Results can last between 4 to 6 months, after which the treatment may need to be repeated to maintain effectiveness.
Most patients notice a significant reduction in sweating within 2 to 7 days after treatment.
Side effects may include temporary pain or discomfort at the injection site, mild muscle weakness, or flu-like symptoms. These effects typically resolve within a few days.
Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and intense physical activity before and after the treatment. This helps reduce the risk of bruising and ensures optimal results.
While Botox offers temporary relief from excessive sweating, more permanent options like surgery (sympathectomy) are available, though they come with increased risks.
I recently visited for a skincare routine and hair scalp checkup, and I had an excellent experience. The doctor provided a thorough examination, took the time to explain every detail, and doctor offered personalized advice tailored to my needs.

The best clinic for hair removal treatment. Thick body and facial hair was my greatest worry and i did a lot of research in finding a clinic with a good doctor and an advanced laser machine. Even after reading and knowing a lot about the technology i was apprehensive during my first visit. Dr sirisha took time to make me understand all the details about the process and the way she explained made me confident and comfortable. After 3 sessions now i hardly have hair. Appointments are well managed. Clinic is very neatly maintained.

Doctor is excellent in explaining and doing the needful treatment. In this clinic, I felt the people are Not money minded like you see in most of the places. Here only the treatment is given which is needed for you, Not like convincing to provide every service available there to get more money which happens in most of the places.
Had a wonderful experience. The doctor is very knowledgeable, polite, friendly and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend this clinic as I have personally seen good results for my skin treatment.
