Treatment overview
Hyperhidrosis is a chronic disorder of excessive sweating that can affect any body part. The most common areas of the body that are affected by hyperhidrosis are the hands, feet, underarms, scalp and groin, due to a higher concentration of sweat glands in these areas. Anti-wrinkle injections can be used to treat excessive sweating on any part of the body. An injection containing a controlled amount of protein is injected into the skin to block the nerves of sweat glands, preventing them from producing excessive sweat. It is a safe and quick treatment with minimal discomfort.
Hyperhidrosis happens when the sympathetic nervous system is running at an abnormally high level, causing excess sweating in specific parts of the body. For those suffering from excessive sweating, anti-wrinkle injections treatment gives great hope. Using a very fine needle, a small amount of a solution of Anti-Wrinkle Injections containing neurotoxic protein are placed in 10 to 15 places about 1.5 – 2 cm apart and spread evenly in each area with extreme precision and least discomfort. This blocks the nerve supplying the glands, thus, preventing the glands from producing sweat.
The full results can be experienced two weeks post-treatment and the effects can last up to eight months. While the injections block the nerve endings, new ones begin to grow to replace the old ones, after about 4-12 weeks, because of this, repeat treatments are required every few months, usually between 6-8 months after the initial procedure.
We typically ask that you avoid shaving your armpits for two or three days prior to your appointment. If you take blood thinners, we may ask you to stop for a few days prior to your injections to prevent bruising.
There are some patients who should avoid anti-wrinkle injections for excessive sweating:
- Patients who are pregnant or trying for pregnancy, breastfeeding
- Patients with certain neuromuscular conditions (e.g. myasthenia gravis)
- Those with infections at the treatment site
- Patients taking aminoglycoside antibiotics.

Eccrine sweat glands can be found on the feet, palms, face, and armpits. When your body is overheated, when you’re moving around, when you’re feeling emotional, or as a result of hormones, nerves activate the sweat glands. When those nerves overreact, it causes hyperhidrosis.
