About this treatment
Less sweat, more confidence
Botox can be used to reduce excessive sweating by blocking the signals that stimulate sweat glands in targeted areas such as the underarms and palms. This typically gives a marked and dramatic reduction in sweating and lasts longer than when injected in other areas of the face/neck, with most people finding it efficacious for about 9–12 months.
