At West Wilson Aesthetics, we use Botox® injections to successfully treat hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. The treatment is performed via a series of small injections under the arms directly into the sweating region.
Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which one sweats more than is required by the body for thermoregulation.

Your medical professional will recommend the proper number of units and injections per injection site. The process takes around 30 to 45 minutes. It starts with cleaning and disinfecting the skin, followed by sectioning it and marking it with 1.5 to 2 cm boxes.

Avoid shaving underarms 24 hours before the appointment. Shaving can cause micro-tears on the skin that cause irritation. You should also avoid using deodorant 24 hours before the appointment. Just make sure to clean the area with soap and water right before leaving the house to go to the appointment.

Botox® injections are minimally invasive, which means that patients can return to normal activities fairly soon.
Typically, 15 to 20 units of Botox® are used for the forehead, neck, and each underarm.
Depending on each person, as well as the area beating treated, the results last for up to six months. According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, people who receive Botox® injections have found excessive sweating decreases by more than 85%.
