Botox for Sweating
Excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis, can affect daily life, social interactions, and confidence. At Tadawi Medical Center in Qatar, we provide Botox injections for sweating—a safe and proven treatment that helps patients manage hyperhidrosis effectively. Whether sweating occurs in the underarms, hands, feet, or face, Botox offers long-lasting relief and restores comfort.
What is the cause of hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is usually caused by overactive sweat glands that release more sweat than the body needs for temperature regulation.
- It may be primary (without underlying medical conditions, often hereditary).
- Or secondary (linked to conditions such as thyroid imbalance, diabetes, or certain medications).
Botox works by blocking the chemical signals that trigger sweat gland activity.
Is Botox effective for hyperhidrosis?
Yes. Botox injections are FDA-approved for treating excessive underarm sweating and are widely used for other body areas. Clinical studies show:
- Up to 80–90% reduction in sweating after treatment.
- Noticeable improvement in quality of life and self-confidence.
- Results that typically last several months.
What type of Botox is used for sweating?
Medical-grade Botulinum toxin type A is used in all clinical Botox procedures. At Tadawi Medical Center:
- Only approved and safe formulations are used.
- Administered by licensed medical professionals with expertise in hyperhidrosis treatment.
Where do you inject Botox for sweating?
Botox can be injected into areas where sweat glands are most active:
- Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
- Palms of the hands
- Soles of the feet
- Forehead or face
Treatment areas are chosen based on the patient’s condition and preferences.
How many Botox injections are needed for hyperhidrosis treatment?
The number of injections depends on the treatment area:
- Underarms usually require 10–15 small injections per side.
- Hands, feet, or face may need multiple tiny injections for full coverage.
Each session is personalized for optimal results.
How quickly does Botox work for excessive sweating?

- Rare allergic reactions
All side effects are usually mild and temporary.
