How Botox Stops Excessive Sweating
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition where the body produces significantly more sweat than needed for temperature regulation. Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands, dramatically reducing sweat production in the treated area.
At TRU Integrative Wellness, we use Botox for underarm, palm, and forehead hyperhidrosis — providing months of relief from excessive sweating with a quick, in-office treatment.

The Science
The Treatment Process
During your consultation, we'll discuss the areas of excessive sweating and may perform a starch-iodine test to map the exact areas of overactive sweat glands.
Small amounts of Botox are injected just below the skin's surface in a grid pattern across the treatment area. For underarms, this typically involves about 15-20 injections per side.
Results begin within a few days and reach full effect within 2 weeks. Most patients enjoy 6-12 months of dramatically reduced sweating before a repeat treatment is needed.
