Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Hyperhidrosis (Underarms).

This treatment uses a neuromodulator to block nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, significantly reducing underarm perspiration. Effects begin within days and typically last several months; maintenance treatments restore control as sweating gradually returns.

Most clients report minimal discomfort from small injections; we offer topical numbing on request. Sessions are quick and well tolerated, with possible temporary bruising or swelling that usually resolves within a few days.

Many patients notice reduced sweating within two to seven days, with maximal results by two weeks. Individual response varies; effects commonly last three to nine months before a follow-up treatment is recommended.

Common side effects include temporary injection-site pain, bruising, redness, or mild swelling. Rare risks include temporary muscle weakness or compensatory sweating elsewhere. Most effects resolve within days to weeks; discuss medical history to minimize risks.

Ideal candidates are adults with bothersome primary axillary hyperhidrosis who haven't found relief from antiperspirants. We screen for contraindications like neuromuscular disorders, pregnancy, or allergies. A consultation determines suitability and individualized treatment planning.

Maintenance frequency varies by individual response, typically every three to nine months. Your provider will track symptom return and recommend timing and dosing for repeat treatments to maintain dryness, comfort, and confidence.
