Ready to stop worrying about sweat and start feeling confident again? Relief from excessive sweating begins here.
If you’re constantly dealing with sweat patches, damp palms, or the frustration of ruined clothes, you might be living with hyperhidrosis. At Elegance Aesthetics in Timonium, we offer a safe, effective solution using Botox injections to treat excessive sweating and help you feel more confident every day.
Botox for hyperhidrosis works by temporarily reducing overactive sweat gland activity in areas like the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet. With this fast, non-surgical treatment, you can take back control and feel more comfortable in your skin.
Understanding Excessive Sweating and Its Impact
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes the body to produce more sweat than necessary, even when you’re not hot or exercising. This overactivity can affect specific areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, or scalp. It can lead to frequent wardrobe changes, social anxiety, and discomfort during both professional and personal interactions.
While sweating is essential for temperature regulation, hyperhidrosis interferes with daily life and confidence. At Elegance Aesthetics in Timonium, we aim to treat the physical symptoms while also helping clients feel more at ease and in control.
What Triggers Hyperhidrosis?
There are two main types of hyperhidrosis:
1. Primary Hyperhidrosis
Primary hyperhidrosis is typically localized and thought to be inherited. It often begins in childhood or adolescence and affects specific regions, such as the underarms or palms, with no identifiable medical cause.
2. Secondary Hyperhidrosis
Secondary hyperhidrosis tends to affect larger areas of the body and is usually linked to an underlying medical condition such as diabetes, menopause, thyroid disorders, or side effects from certain medications.
Why Choose Botox for Hyperhidrosis?
Botox is a highly effective, FDA-approved treatment for managing excessive sweating. It works by blocking the chemical signals from nerves that trigger the sweat glands. When these signals are interrupted, the targeted sweat glands simply stop producing sweat.
While topical treatments and prescription antiperspirants can offer temporary relief, they often don’t address the root of the problem. Botox offers a more targeted and long-lasting solution that doesn’t require daily maintenance or systemic medications.
Who Might Benefit from Hyperhidrosis Treatment?
Botox injections for hyperhidrosis may be ideal if you:
– Struggle with persistent underarm, hand, or foot sweating
– Frequently change clothes due to sweat stains
– Experience embarrassment or anxiety in social situations
– Have tried prescription antiperspirants or medications with little success
– Are in good health and not pregnant or breastfeeding
Hyperhidrosis Treatment Procedure at Elegance Aesthetics.
Here’s what you can expect from your Hyperhidrosis Treatment at Elegance Aesthetics in Timonium:
Consultation
Your treatment journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with one of our licensed Elegance Aesthetics practitioners. During this appointment, we’ll ask about your medical history, discuss the symptoms you’ve been experiencing, and assess the areas most affected by excessive sweating.
Once we’ve completed this assessment, we’ll design a personalized treatment plan to target the areas where sweat is most problematic. This is also a great opportunity to ask any questions about how Botox works for hyperhidrosis, what results you can expect, and how many units may be needed based on your individual concerns.
Treatment Procedure
When you return for your treatment, your Elegance practitioner will cleanse the skin and apply a topical numbing cream if needed. We want to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible especially when treating more sensitive areas like the hands or feet.
Once the area is prepped, your practitioner will use a fine needle to inject small amounts of Botox just beneath the surface of the skin. These injections are placed strategically across the treatment area to target the most active sweat glands. The procedure usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes.
Botox for hyperhidrosis is noninvasive and doesn’t require any recovery time. You can return to your daily routine immediately after your appointment. Some clients experience mild redness or sensitivity around the injection sites, but this typically resolves within a day or two.
Aftercare and Results
After your treatment, we’ll provide aftercare instructions to help you get the best results. For the first 24 hours, we recommend that you:
- Avoid strenuous activity or workouts
- Steer clear of hot showers, steam rooms, or saunas
- Refrain from rubbing or massaging the treated area
- Stay hydrated and wear loose, breathable clothing
You’ll typically start to notice reduced sweating within 2 to 5 days, with full results appearing around the two-week mark. Most clients experience dryness in the treated area for 4 to 12 months, depending on how your body responds to the treatment and the area treated.
To maintain your results, we may recommend scheduling follow-up appointments once or twice a year, depending on your goals and preferences.
How Long Will Your Results Last?
Botox results for hyperhidrosis generally last 4 to 6 months, and sometimes longer, depending on how quickly your body metabolizes the product.
Most clients return for repeat treatments two to three times per year to maintain dryness and avoid a return of symptoms. During your follow-up appointments, we can adjust the number of units or areas treated depending on how your body has responded.

Top Questions About Hyperhidrosis Treatment
What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating beyond what the body needs to regulate temperature. It often affects areas like the underarms, palms, feet, and face. This condition can be disruptive to daily life and difficult to manage with standard antiperspirants or hygiene routines alone.
How does Botox treat hyperhidrosis?
Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat production in overactive glands. When injected into specific areas, it temporarily prevents sweating without affecting your body’s ability to cool itself elsewhere. It is an FDA-approved treatment for underarm sweating and is widely used off-label for hands, feet, and other areas.
What areas can be treated with Botox for sweating?
Botox can be used to treat a variety of sweat-prone areas, including the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, forehead, and scalp. The underarms are the most commonly treated area due to effectiveness and comfort. Your provider will help you determine which areas are suitable based on your symptoms and goals.
Is the procedure painful?
Most clients tolerate Botox injections well, but some areas—like the palms or feet can be more sensitive. We can apply a topical numbing cream to help reduce discomfort before the injections. The treatment itself is quick, and any discomfort typically subsides within minutes.
How long does the procedure take?
The full treatment usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The process includes cleansing the skin, applying numbing cream if needed, and administering multiple small injections. You can return to your normal routine immediately after your appointment.
When will I start seeing results?
Most clients begin to notice a reduction in sweating within 2 to 5 days after their injections. Full results are usually visible within two weeks. The timeline can vary slightly depending on the area treated and your body’s response.
How long do the results last?
Results typically last between 4 to 12 months, depending on the treatment area and how quickly your body metabolizes the Botox. Underarm results tend to last longer, while hands or feet may need more frequent maintenance. Your provider will help you plan your follow-up schedule accordingly.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
No, Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis requires no downtime. You can resume most daily activities immediately after your session. We recommend avoiding saunas, hot showers, or strenuous activity for 24 hours to help the Botox settle properly.
Can I exercise after treatment?
It’s best to avoid heavy exercise for at least 24 hours following your injections. Excessive sweating or increased blood flow can interfere with how the Botox settles. Light walking or stretching is usually fine, but high-intensity workouts should be delayed.
Will I stop sweating completely?
Botox does not stop sweating everywhere—it only affects the area where it’s injected. You will still sweat normally in untreated parts of your body, which helps maintain natural temperature regulation. In the treated area, most clients experience a significant reduction, not a total elimination.
