Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Hyperhidrosis (Underarms).

Many clients notice drier underarms within 2–3 days, with maximal effect usually by two weeks. Individual response varies; your provider will schedule follow-up to assess results and recommend timing for future treatments if needed.

Most patients experience significant reduction in sweating for about 3 to 6 months. Duration varies by individual metabolism and dose; maintenance injections are recommended when sweating begins to return to maintain optimal dryness.

Discomfort is usually minor—brief pinprick sensations during injections. We can apply topical numbing to increase comfort. Recovery is quick; most people resume normal activities immediately, avoiding vigorous exercise for 24 hours if advised.

Common side effects include temporary bruising, swelling, redness, or mild discomfort at injection sites. Rare effects include muscle weakness or compensatory sweating elsewhere. Serious reactions are uncommon; discuss medical history and concerns during consultation.

Good candidates are adults troubled by persistent underarm sweating despite antiperspirants. Those pregnant, breastfeeding, or with certain neuromuscular disorders should avoid treatment. A medical consultation and history review will determine suitability.

Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications for 24–48 hours if medically safe. Come with clean, product-free underarms (no deodorant). Bring a list of medications and medical history to your appointment for a safe treatment plan.
