Botox for Hyperhidrosis in Arlington, Pentagon & DC: Say Goodbye to Excessive Sweating

Azure Dream

If you’re dealing with constant underarm stains, clammy palms, or the stress of sweating through your clothes — even in cool weather — you’re not alone. This condition, known as hyperhidrosis, affects millions and can seriously impact daily life and confidence. At Azure Dream MedSpa, located in Arlington, VA, and serving clients across Pentagon City and Washington, DC, we offer an effective, FDA-approved solution: Botox for hyperhidrosis. This non-surgical treatment can dramatically reduce excessive sweating and help you feel more in control.

What Is Hyperhidrosis and Why It Matters

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes overactive sweat glands, often without any heat or exertion. While sweating is a normal bodily function that helps regulate temperature, people with hyperhidrosis produce far more sweat than needed — sometimes even while sitting still.

There are two main types:

  • Primary hyperhidrosis, which typically affects localized areas like the underarms, palms, and soles.
  • Secondary hyperhidrosis, caused by underlying health conditions or medications and tends to affect larger areas of the body.

Either form can be frustrating and isolating — but the good news is, it’s treatable.

How Botox Works for Hyperhidrosis

Blocking Sweat Signals at the Source

Botox isn’t just for wrinkles. When used to treat hyperhidrosis, Botox (botulinum toxin type A) works by blocking the nerve signals that tell your sweat glands to activate. By disrupting this cycle, the treatment essentially pauses excessive sweating in the targeted area.

Safe, FDA-Approved, and Trusted

Botox has been FDA-approved for the treatment of underarm hyperhidrosis since 2004 and has a strong safety record. Many people who don’t respond well to prescription-strength antiperspirants or oral medications find relief through Botox.

Where Can Botox Treat Excessive Sweating?

Botox is most commonly used to reduce sweating in the:

  • Underarms
  • Palms of the hands
  • Soles of the feet
  • Forehead and scalp/hairline

At Azure Dream MedSpa, our experienced injectors will assess your specific needs and create a personalized treatment plan to target the areas that impact you most.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Treatment

The Procedure

Botox injections for hyperhidrosis are quick and relatively painless. A topical numbing cream may be applied to keep you comfortable. The injector will then administer small, shallow injections just beneath the skin in a grid pattern over the affected area.

When Will You See Results?

You may begin noticing a decrease in sweating within 4 to 7 days, with full results by 14 days. Results typically last 4 to 6 months, and some patients enjoy relief for even longer.

Is There Any Downtime?

There’s little to no downtime. Most clients return to their daily routine immediately following treatment.

Is Botox the Right Treatment for Your Hyperhidrosis?

Botox is ideal for people who:

  • Sweat excessively in specific areas
  • Have tried prescription or over-the-counter antiperspirants without success
