Frequently Asked Questions

Botox for excessive sweating is a targeted medical treatment that calms overactive sweat glands in specific areas.
  • Using tiny injections of onabotulinumtoxinA placed intradermally, we block acetylcholine, the signal that tells eccrine glands to sweat.
  • In Canada, Botox is Health Canada–approved for severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis when topical agents fail; other sites like palms, soles, scalp, and face are treated off‑label based on assessment.
  • Your visit may include mapping with Minor’s starch‑iodine test to outline sweat zones, optional numbing, and a precise injection grid.
  • Effects stay local—Botox does not reroute sweating to other body parts. Most people notice dryness within three to seven days, with peak benefit around two weeks and results that last several months.
  • Downtime is usually very minimal.
Two to five days before treatment, avoid starting new supplements that thin blood (high‑dose fish oil, ginkgo, garlic) and ask your prescriber before stopping any medications.
  • Skip alcohol for 24 hours. If treating underarms, shave 24 hours before and avoid deodorant or antiperspirant on the day.
  • Come with clean, product‑free skin; skip retinoids, exfoliants, and waxing on the area for two to three days.
  • Hydrate, eat a light meal, and limit caffeine and strenuous exercise beforehand. Wear a loose, dark top to minimize rubbing and stains.
  • Tell us about pregnancy, breastfeeding, neuromuscular conditions, aminoglycoside antibiotics, or infections, and bring an updated medication and allergy list with you.
After check‑in and consent, we review your goals, confirm medical history, and photograph the area.
  • For underarms, we may perform Minor’s starch‑iodine test to visualize sweat maps
  • For palms or soles, we use clinical mapping.
  • Optional topical anesthetic, vibration, or ice improves comfort. The injector then places a series of tiny intradermal injections in a grid across the mapped zone.
  • Underarms usually take about 20–30 minutes in total, including numbing; palms and soles can take longer.
  • You can return to routine activities right away, with simple aftercare for the first 24 hours. Early effects are typically noticed within several days, with peak dryness near two weeks.

Expect temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness. Use cool compresses intermittently for the first day, keep the area clean and dry, and avoid heating pads, hot tubs, or saunas for 24–48 hours. Skip vigorous workouts and heavy lifting for 24 hours; light daily activities are fine. If underarms were treated, avoid deodorant or antiperspirant until the next day; if palms or soles were treated, anticipate brief numbness or mild grip or gait changes. Do not massage or manipulate injection points. Hold shaving and waxing for 24–48 hours. Resume gentle skincare after two days; reintroduce actives slowly. Watch for unusual symptoms like spreading weakness, trouble swallowing, or patchy color changes and contact our clinic. Most people return to routine immediately after treatment day.

Plan maintenance when sweating gradually returns. Most people repeat underarm treatments every 6–9 months, though responses vary from about 3 to 10 months. Track your dryness and triggers, and book a review 2–3 weeks after treatment if you’d like dosing adjustments for future visits. Combine healthy routines—breathable fabrics, antiperspirant at night, stress management—with skincare that avoids irritation. For stubborn palmar or plantar sweating, expect the same cycle and ask about comfort strategies for repeat sessions. Botox works locally and preserves sweating needed elsewhere for temperature control. If results are shorter than expected, options include dose or pattern adjustments, adding topicals, or considering alternatives such as microwave energy or oral agents after clinician guidance.
You’re a strong candidate if you have primary focal hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating in the underarms, palms, soles, scalp, or face) that persists despite clinical‑strength antiperspirants and affects work, sports, or social life. Ideal candidates are adults in good general health who want a non‑surgical, localized solution and are comfortable planning maintenance sessions a few times per year. Botox® is Health‑Canada–approved for severe underarm sweating; other sites are treated off‑label after an in‑clinic assessment.
  • Not pregnant or breastfeeding; no active skin infection at the treatment site.
  • No allergy to botulinum toxin and no significant neuromuscular disorders (e.g., myasthenia gravis, Lambert‑Eaton).
  • On blood thinners or with bleeding disorders? We’ll discuss bruising risk and coordination with your prescriber.
  • Palmar/plantar cases: plan for possible temporary grip or gait weakness—important for musicians, climbers, or manual trades.
  • If sweating may be secondary (thyroid issues, medications), we’ll suggest medical evaluation first.
At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre in Edmonton, we confirm candidacy, map sweat zones, tailor dosing, and review comfort options and aftercare before treatment.
