What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by overactive sweat glands, resulting in excessive sweating beyond normal physiological needs. It can affect the underarms (axillary), hands (palmar), feet (plantar), and sometimes the face (craniofacial). The condition can cause social anxiety, skin irritation, and disruption in daily activities.
Causes include:
- Overactive sympathetic nervous system
- Genetic predisposition
- Stress or emotional triggers
- Certain medications or medical conditions (secondary hyperhidrosis)
How Hyperhidrosis Botox Works
Botox works by blocking the chemical signals from nerves that activate sweat glands. When injected into the affected area, it prevents excessive sweating for several months. The treatment is safe, minimally invasive, and FDA-approved for axillary hyperhidrosis. Results are noticeable within days and can significantly reduce sweat production.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
Hyperhidrosis Botox is suitable for adults who:
- Experience excessive sweating in underarms, hands, or feet
- Have not responded adequately to topical antiperspirants or other conservative measures
- Wish to improve social, professional, or athletic comfort
- Are in good overall health without contraindications to botulinum toxin
During consultation, Dr. Orhan Demirer evaluates the severity, distribution, and impact of sweating to design a personalized injection plan.
The Consultation Process
The consultation involves:
- Assessing sweat patterns using visual inspection or Minor starch-iodine test
- Reviewing medical history and medications
- Discussing expectations, goals, and potential risks
A tailored treatment plan ensures effective, safe, and lasting results.
The Procedure Step by Step
The treatment is performed in-office. The affected area is cleaned, and small injections of Botox are delivered across the sweat gland regions. Topical anesthesia or cooling may be used to minimize discomfort. The procedure usually takes 20–30 minutes depending on the area size.
Aftercare Instructions
Post-treatment care includes:
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for 24 hours
- Maintain regular daily activities
- Monitor for mild redness or bruising, which usually resolves quickly
- Follow any additional personalized instructions provided during consultation

Results are often noticeable within 3–7 days. Maximal effect occurs after 2 weeks and lasts approximately 4–6 months, after which repeat treatments are recommended for ongoing sweat control.
