Sweating is the body’s natural way of cooling down, especially when body temperature rises such as after exercise, in hot weather, or due to stress. Sweat glands release moisture through the skin to help regulate temperature.
In some people, sweat comes out more than normal, a condition called hyperhidrosis. It can affect areas like the underarms, hands, feet, or the whole body. While not harmful to health, it can impact daily life with wet clothes, body odor, and low confidence. This is especially challenging for those who work in public-facing roles or on camera.
Some people sweat a lot due to weather, stress, or hormone changes. This can make them feel uncomfortable and affect both appearance and confidence.
Start with simple self-care:
However, in many situations, you can’t control heat or sweat. Excess sweat often leads to body odor, caused by bacteria buildup in moist areas.

Armpit Botox uses Botulinum Toxin Type A, a purified protein that blocks sweat gland activity. The doctor injects Botox into multiple points across the underarm to target sweat glands.
This reduces sweat gland activity cutting underarm sweat by up to 80% on average. Results become noticeable within 3–4 weeks after treatment.
Botox is great for people whose sweating affects their daily life, such as:
Note: Sweat gland surgery is a more permanent method. It involves scraping or laser-removing part of the glands in overactive areas. While long-lasting, it comes with more risks such as swelling, bruising, scars, adhesions, and longer recovery time.
Botox doesn’t just reduce sweat, it also helps prevent odor. Less sweat means less moisture in the underarm area, which reduces the growth of bacteria, the main cause of body odor.
So while Botox doesn’t kill bacteria directly, it lowers the dampness that bacteria need to grow, which helps reduce underarm odor effectively.
The effects of armpit Botox usually last around 3–4 months before naturally wearing off. However, this can vary depending on lifestyle, aftercare, or how regularly you get repeat treatments.
You can get repeat injections every 3–4 months once the effect starts to fade. Avoid getting Botox too frequently, as it may lead to resistance and reduce its effectiveness.
If underarm sweating returns, consult a doctor first to plan the next session properly.
Botox helps reduce sweat, which dries out the underarm area and lowers the chance of body odor. But it doesn’t remove body odor permanently because odor can also come from food, stress, hormones, hygiene, or genetics.
After the injection, avoid rubbing, pressing, or massaging the area for 3 days. This helps prevent the Botox from spreading to the wrong spot and ensures better results.
For the first few days, avoid high heat (above 60°C) because it may cause the Botox to break down faster. Skip activities like saunas, steam rooms, or laser treatments under the arms.
Wait at least 7 days before doing any underarm laser or skin treatments. If planned, do them before the Botox session.
Some people may see light bruising at the injection sites, especially if they take aspirin, blood thinners, vitamin E, vitamin K, or fish oil, or drink alcohol often.
These marks will fade within 7–14 days and are not harmful.
Botox reduces underarm sweat and wetness. But if you also want smoother, brighter, and more toned underarms, consider extra treatments:
To feel extra confident, combine Botox with good habits like:
