BOTOX® HYPERHIDROSIS
Do you often find yourself sweating for no reason and prescription antiperspirants have failed you? WellMedica, your premier board-certified cosmetic laser surgery and wellness center in Reston, Virginia, might have solution for you.
WHAT IS BOTOX® FOR HYPERHIDROSIS (BOTOX® FOR SWEATING)?
Sweating for no reason and nothing helped? Botox® for hyperhidrosis reduces severe underarm sweating when topical agents don’t work. It may be used “off-label” to reduce sweating in other areas such as the feet, face, hands, and between buttocks. Botox® treatment helps control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don’t receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops. At WellMedica, we offer Botox® for hyperhidrosis, also referred to as Botox® for sweating.
Reclaim Confidence with Botox Hyperhidrosis in Reston VA
If you are struggling with excessive sweating that disrupts your day-to-day life, you are not alone. At WellMedica in Reston VA, we offer an advanced and highly effective treatment for this condition: Botox Hyperhidrosis therapy. This FDA-approved solution provides relief for those experiencing uncontrollable sweating, especially when over-the-counter treatments have failed.
Dr. Dima, a nationally recognized expert in cosmetic and anti-aging medicine, provides this specialized treatment with precision and care, helping patients regain control, confidence, and comfort.
What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. This can significantly impact your quality of life—causing embarrassment, discomfort, and even social isolation. It typically affects:
- Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
- Palms of the hands
- Soles of the feet
- Face
- Back and buttocks
While some people may sweat more during hot weather or exercise, those with hyperhidrosis experience excessive sweating regardless of these conditions.
Why Choose Botox for Hyperhidrosis?
When traditional solutions like prescription antiperspirants and topical agents do not provide relief, Botox® Hyperhidrosis treatment becomes an effective next step. Botox® (Botulinum Toxin Type A) works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat production.
At WellMedica, Dr. Dima offers this breakthrough treatment for those who are tired of hiding sweat stains or avoiding social events. The procedure is quick, safe, minimally invasive, and has been life-changing for many patients in Reston VA and the surrounding areas.
How Botox Treats Hyperhidrosis
Botox works by:
- Blocking the chemical signals: Sweat glands are activated by nerve signals. Botox temporarily stops these signals from reaching the glands.
- Targeted treatment: It’s injected into specific areas—like the underarms, palms, or feet—where excessive sweating occurs.
- Immediate relief: Most patients begin to see noticeable improvements within 4–5 days after treatment, with full results in about two weeks.
While Botox® for hyperhidrosis is FDA-approved for underarm sweating, it’s often used “off-label” in other areas such as:
- Palms
- Soles
- Scalp
- Facial areas
- Inframammary (under the breasts)
- Groin and buttocks

Botox Hyperhidrosis FAQ
How long do the results last?
Typically, results last between 6–12 months, depending on the individual and the area treated.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients report only minimal discomfort. For sensitive areas, numbing options are available.
How many units of Botox will I need?
This varies by treatment area and severity. Underarms typically require 50–100 units total, but your treatment plan will be customized.
Can I combine this with other treatments?
Yes. Many of our patients pair their Botox Hyperhidrosis treatment with other aesthetic procedures like Botox Cosmetic, dermal fillers, or laser treatments for a complete wellness experience.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING AND AFTER BOTOX® FOR HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENT?
The procedure is a simple one. Your appointment will likely take 45 minutes, but the injections will only take 20 minutes.
The area of concern will be marked with ink, and an ultra-fine needle will be used to precisely inject small amounts of Botox® just below the marked areas. You will receive an average of 15 - 20 injections that form a grid pattern around the area of concern with minimal and brief discomfort. Local anesthetic is not required but applied if requested by the patient. You may resume your normal day’s activities right away.
WHEN DOES THE BOTOX® KICK IN FOR SWEATING?
Results may not last as long for the hands and feet, and you may require more frequent treatments after about 6 months. If you decide not to have further treatment, there will be no lasting change in the treated areas. The effects of Botox® treatment will gradually wear off, and your sweating will resume.
WHAT IS THE COST OF THE BOTOX® FOR HYPERHIDROSIS?
The cost of Botox® injection for sweating varies depending on numerous factors but generally starts at $1,400. To ensure that your Botox® procedure is affordable, we accept a variety of payment methods including special financing plans like CareCredit.
Beware of anyone offering Botox® regularly for less than what you usually see in the area. Many providers offering Botox® might be highly discounted because they import their product at a discount from outside the United States, making the product being used just as real as a “designer” bag but it is fake. Remember, when you are injecting a substance into your body it is not something to bargain hunt.

TESTIMONIALS
What a relief to find WellMedica! I’ve always felt very insecure about my underarms. When wearing certain fabrics, antiperspirants never seemed to solve the problem of odor and wetness. After learning about Botox for sweating, I was eager to give it a try but was a bit nervous about having a “procedure.”
My experience at the WellMedica Center could not have been better! I was handled professionally, compassionately and was taken through a thorough educational consult before the procedure. Turns out I had nothing to worry about! The whole process was easy, went well and I had fantastic results. If you’re shopping around, look no further, you really can find the best quality and great customer service in one place! – Tammy
