Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis) Treatment in Savannah, GA
Sweating is the body’s natural cooling mechanism — but for millions of people, sweat production goes far beyond what’s necessary. This condition is called hyperhidrosis, and it affects both men and women of all ages. Hyperhidrosis is more than a physical discomfort; it can significantly impact self-confidence, daily activities, and social interactions. Studies estimate that 3–5% of the U.S. population is affected, though the true number may be higher because many people suffer in silence.

FAQs About Excessive Sweating Treatment
What is hyperhidrosis and how common is it?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by overactive sweat production beyond what is needed for temperature regulation. It is estimated to affect 3–5% of the U.S. population, though many cases go unreported.
How does Botox treat excessive sweating?
Botox works by blocking the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands in the treated area. When injected into the underarms, palms, or soles, it significantly reduces sweat production for up to 6 months.
Is Botox for sweating FDA-approved?
Yes — Botox® Therapeutic is FDA-approved for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating) and has been widely used for palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis as well.
How long does the hyperhidrosis treatment last?
Results typically last 4 to 6 months for underarm treatments. Many clients schedule repeat treatments to maintain continuous relief.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients tolerate the treatment well. A topical numbing cream can be applied before injections in sensitive areas like the palms or soles to maximize comfort.
How many units of Botox are needed for hyperhidrosis?
Approximately 50 units per underarm are typically used, and a similar amount per palm or per foot, depending on the severity of sweating and individual anatomy.
Can I combine hyperhidrosis treatment with other Botox services?
Yes — many clients combine their hyperhidrosis treatment with cosmetic Botox injections for facial lines and wrinkles in the same appointment for convenience and efficiency.
