What is a Botox Treatment for Excessive Sweating?
Botox for excessive sweating is a safe and effective treatment for people who struggle with overactive sweat glands, particularly under the arms, on the hands, or on the feet. During the treatment, Botox is injected into the sweat glands, temporarily blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweating. This reduces sweat production and helps prevent uncomfortable sweat stains.

How Does a Botox Treatment for Excessive Sweating Work?
During the treatment, Botox is injected with a fine needle into the sweat glands of the affected area. Botox temporarily blocks the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands, reducing sweat production. The procedure usually takes 20 to 30 minutes, and there is no downtime. You can continue with your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
Treatment steps plan
1. Compare clinics and select a few
The first step is to compare clinics. We make this easy by providing a comprehensive overview of clinics in the UAE. You can compare clinics based on experience, price, and reviews from other patients. This helps you make an informed decision and find the best clinic for your treatment. We offer a wide selection of affiliated clinics and verified reviews, so you can always make a confident choice and book an appointment directly with the clinic that suits you best.
2. Make an appointment
Arrange a no-obligation consultation for injectables. During the consultation, pay attention to how comfortable you feel with the doctor and whether all your questions are answered thoroughly. Take your time to consider whether you really want to proceed with the treatment. If you’re confident in your decision, you can then book an appointment at the clinic.
3. Preparation
Follow the clinic’s recommendations carefully before your treatment. Make sure your work and personal schedule are well organised. For example, avoid strenuous activities and social events, and have ice packs ready in the freezer.
4. The treatment
During the procedure, the cosmetic doctor will place small, superficial injections roughly one centimetre apart. The number of injections depends on the severity of the sweating and the size of the area being treated. This precise approach maximises the effectiveness of the treatment by deactivating the SNARE proteins, which normally help trigger sweat production. As a result, sweat production stops.
5. Recovery
After the injections, sweat production will be significantly reduced. We recommend, among other things, avoiding exercise for up to 24 hours after the treatment and keeping the treated area out of direct sunlight for the first two weeks.

Scientific Evidence for Botox Treatment of Hyperhidrosis
A Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis temporarily blocks nerve signals to the sweat glands, reducing excessive sweating. At the cellular level, this occurs by inhibiting SNAP-25, which prevents the release of acetylcholine. Botox is biocompatible and is broken down locally in the body. Clinical studies show long-lasting effectiveness (Naumann et al., Br J Dermatol, 2013).
