How to Stop Underarm Sweating – Effective Hyperhidrosis Treatments

Excessive underarm sweating, also known as axillary hyperhidrosis, is a common medical condition that can cause extreme sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. For many, this can lead to skin irritation, body odour, and discomfort, making daily tasks and social interactions stressful. Whether you struggle with heavy sweating during physical activity, night sweats, or uncontrollable sweating at work, finding an effective treatment can significantly improve your quality of life. 

 

At our Newcastle and Carlisle clinics, Nurse Ness Griffiths and her team specialise in personalised hyperhidrosis treatments to help manage excess sweat, restore confidence, and provide long-lasting relief. If regular antiperspirants or other home remedies have failed, Botulinum toxin injections may be the solution you need.

Botox Treatment for Underarm Sweating

One of the most effective treatments for underarm hyperhidrosis is Botox injections. While commonly used for aesthetic purposes, Botox is a medical treatment that helps control primary hyperhidrosis by blocking nerve signals that trigger excessive sweat production.

 

How Does It Work?

• Small Botox injections are administered into the underarm sweat glands, targeting overactive sweat ducts.

• The Botulinum toxin injections temporarily block the sympathetic nerve signals, preventing the activation of sweat glands.

• Within 5–7 days, excessive armpit sweating is significantly reduced, with results lasting 4–6 months.

 

This quick, non-invasive procedure allows patients to enjoy drier underarms, preventing sweat stains, odour, and skin irritation, while improving their quality of life.

Other Areas That Botox for Hyperhidrosis Can Treat

While underarm hyperhidrosis is one of the most common types of hyperhidrosis, Botox for hyperhidrosis can also help with excess sweating in other areas, including:

Palms – Many people with hyperhidrosis sweat excessively from their hands, leading to grip issues and discomfort in social and professional settings.

Feet – Sweaty feet can cause odour, fungal infections, and skin irritation due to damp conditions.

Forehead and Scalp – Gustatory sweating, where sweat production increases after eating, can be managed with targeted Botox injections.

Groin Area – Excess sweat in this area can cause chafing, discomfort, and infections, particularly in warm weather.

Each of these treatment areas follows the same procedure, offering a safe and effective solution to uncontrollable sweating and its associated complications.

 

How the Treatment Can Help Gain Confidence – Just in Time for Summer

Excessive sweating can be embarrassing and inconvenient, affecting everything from clothing choices to social interactions. Patients with hyperhidrosis often avoid light-coloured fabrics, carry extra shirts, and struggle with body odour despite frequent washing.

By choosing Botox for hyperhidrosis, you no longer have to worry about visible sweat patches, excessive dampness, or strong antiperspirant applications that fail to work. Whether you’re attending a work meeting, social event, or simply enjoying a warm day, Botox reduces excessive armpit sweating, helping you stay dry, comfortable, and confident all year round.

 

Aftercare and Recovery

Botulinum toxin injections for hyperhidrosis require little to no downtime, but following the right aftercare routine helps ensure optimal results.

Post-Treatment Care:

• Avoid vigorous exercise and excessive heat (e.g., saunas or steam rooms) for 24 hours to prevent sweating worse than usual.

• Do not rub or massage the underarm skin for at least 24 hours to avoid spreading the toxin beyond the targeted sweat glands.

• Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol for the first 24 hours to support healing.

• Mild skin irritation, bruising, or redness at the injection site is normal and should subside within a few days.

• Avoid applying deodorant or strong antiperspirant for 24 hours to prevent skin irritation.

Most patients return to day activities immediately, with full effects noticeable within a week.
