What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that occurs when someone’s sweat glands are overactive. It’s not a life-threatening condition, but it can potentially cause skin infections in addition to embarrassment and anxiety.
Our clients’ concerns with excessive sweating are often about:
- looking unprofessional and untidy at work
- seeming nervous or shy, even if that’s not the case
- feeling icky about fitness or summer outings where sweating is a given
- bacterial infections or body odor
It’s safe to say that excessive sweating is a real condition that has the power to significantly affect your quality of life. Maybe it already has. But that can change, because there is a non-surgical and quick-action solution for treating hyperhidrosis.

How Does Botox Help With Excessive Sweating?
Sweating is a perfectly natural bodily function. It’s our involuntary way to regulate body temperature. But for someone struggling with hyperhidrosis, the nerves that send signals to their sweat glands tend to be a bit overactive.
So how do Botox injections work to curb this tendency? You can think of Botox as a straitjacket for your overactive nerves, stopping them so they can’t send messages to your sweat glands. Botox is highly effective and virtually painless to administer in the armpits.
Why Choose Botox to Treat Excessive Sweating?
1. FDA-Approved (for Armpits)
Botox has been approved by the FDA for people who sweat excessively from their armpits, if topical treatments and antiperspirant medications haven’t been effective. Dr. Naqvi only provides treatments she believes in.
2. Non-Invasive
No knives, no surgery. All we use is a needle to inject the Botox into the targeted area. This is a non-invasive procedure that is over within 30 minutes.
3. Minimal Pain
Most patients report feeling next to no pain when getting treated with Botox to reduce excessive sweating in their armpits. We will always work with you to ease any discomfort.

5. Quick Procedure
Your appointment might last around 30 minutes, but injecting the Botox only takes 20 minutes. Some patients get Botox on their lunch break!
If you’re looking to reduce excessive sweating, Botox isn’t just for wrinkles! It can be highly effective as a solution for hyperhidrosis.
