Altadena’s Popular Healing Center for Excessive Sweat Reduction by Parfaire
Botox Treatment for
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Struggling with excessive sweating that impacts your daily comfort? You’re not alone, and there’s a solution! Botox is a trusted treatment for hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes excessive and unpredictable perspiration. Whether in the underarms, hands, scalp, or feet, Botox helps by blocking nerve signals to the eccrine sweat glands, reducing excessive sweating so you can feel at ease.
How Botox Works for Hyperhidrosis
Botox isn’t just for cosmetic enhancements—it’s also an FDA-approved solution for excessive sweating. Whether you struggle with axillary hyperhidrosis (underarm sweating) or primary focal hyperhidrosis (hands, feet, or face), Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals in the affected areas, helping you feel more comfortable and in control.
What to Expect During Treatment in Altadena
Before we administer Botox, an Iodine Starch Test is performed to pinpoint the most active sweat glands in the treatment area. This test helps us deliver Botox exactly where it will be most effective.
- A fine-gauge needle is used to inject Botox just under the skin’s surface.
- Several micro-injections are placed strategically across the problem area.
- A numbing cream or anesthetic may be used to minimize any discomfort.
- The entire procedure typically takes about 30 minutes, with minimal to no recovery time needed.
Generally, 50 units of Botox are applied per underarm, but the dosage is adjusted based on the severity of sweating, determined using the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale. Results start appearing within 5 to 7 days, with effects lasting around 7 to 8 months and often longer with maintenance treatments.
A Note About Our Iodine Starch Kit Test:
We apply a specialized powder that interacts with sweat, turning purple to reveal high-activity sweat glands. This ensures Botox is injected with precision, avoiding unnecessary treatment beyond the affected area.

For individuals with secondary hyperhidrosis due to medical conditions, we recommend seeing a specialist to explore the underlying cause before considering Botox.
