What is Hyperhidrosis Treatment?

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) treatment uses Botox injections or miraDry technology to reduce sweat production by 80-90%. Botox temporarily blocks nerve signals to sweat glands (lasting 6-12 months), while miraDry permanently destroys sweat glands using microwave energy.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: If you're considering miraDry, Turkey offers significant savings on this permanent solution. One treatment often provides 80%+ sweat reduction permanently—eliminating the need for repeat Botox sessions.

⚠️ Insider Note: For best Botox results in palms, ask about nerve blocks before injection. This makes the treatment significantly more comfortable for this sensitive area where standard topical anesthesia may not be sufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Botox last for sweating?

6-12 months typically, with some patients experiencing even longer results after repeated treatments. The duration tends to increase with consistent maintenance sessions.

Is miraDry painful?

Local anesthesia is administered before miraDry, so the procedure itself is comfortable. Afterward, expect swelling and tenderness in the underarm area for 3-5 days.

Which treatment is better—Botox or miraDry?

Botox is less invasive, cheaper per session, but temporary (needs repeat every 6-12 months). miraDry is more expensive upfront but provides permanent 80-90% reduction. Choice depends on budget and preference.

Can hyperhidrosis be fully cured?

miraDry provides permanent 80-90% sweat reduction by destroying sweat glands. Botox controls symptoms effectively but requires ongoing maintenance treatments.

What about compensatory sweating?

Some patients (5-15%) experience mildly increased sweating elsewhere on the body. This is more common with surgical treatments (ETS) than with Botox or miraDry.

How many Botox sessions do I need?

One session treats the target area effectively. Sessions are repeated every 6-12 months as the Botox effects gradually wear off.

Can I treat multiple areas?

Yes, underarms, palms, soles of feet, and forehead can all be treated with Botox. miraDry is specifically designed for underarm treatment.

When can I resume activities?

Immediately after Botox—there's no downtime. After miraDry, 3-5 days of rest and avoiding strenuous activity is recommended while swelling subsides.

Is This Right For You?

"Anyone suffering from excessive sweating affecting confidence and daily life. Underarms most commonly treated."
