Botox for Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis) in Tigard, OR
If you deal with sweat that soaks through shirts no matter the temperature, you’re not just “a sweaty person” — you may have a common medical condition called hyperhidrosis. The good news: the same Botox trusted for smoothing wrinkles is also an FDA-approved treatment for excessive sweating, and it works remarkably well.
At CosMed Aesthetics in Tigard, Oregon, we use Botox to help patients get lasting relief from overactive sweat glands — so you can stop planning your day around it.

What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating that goes beyond what your body needs to cool down. It often shows up in the underarms, palms, feet, or forehead, and it happens regardless of temperature or activity level. For many people it starts in their teens or twenties and quietly affects their clothing choices, confidence, and daily comfort.
How Does Botox Stop Sweating?
Sweat is triggered when nerves signal your sweat glands to activate. Botox works by temporarily blocking those nerve signals in the treated area — so the glands simply don’t get the “start sweating” message.
It’s important to know this is targeted and local: Botox only affects the small area where it’s injected, so your body still regulates temperature normally everywhere else.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
The most common and most effective area is the underarms, but Botox can also help reduce sweating in:
- Palms of the hands
- Soles of the feet
- Forehead and hairline
Your provider will assess your areas of concern during a consultation and recommend the right approach.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment is quick and done in-office. After a simple assessment, your provider administers a series of tiny injections across the treatment area using a very fine needle. Most patients describe it as small pinches, and the whole underarm session usually takes only about 15 to 20 minutes with no downtime — you can drive yourself home and return to normal activities right away.
How Long Does It Last?
This is where hyperhidrosis treatment really shines. While Botox for wrinkles typically lasts three to four months, Botox for sweating often lasts noticeably longer — many patients enjoy dryness for around four to six months, and sometimes more. When the effect gradually fades, you simply schedule a maintenance visit.
Is It Worth It?
For people who’ve tried clinical antiperspirants without success, Botox is often life-changing. It can mean wearing colors you’ve avoided, raising your hand without a second thought, and getting through a summer in Oregon without constant worry. Because results last months at a time, most patients find it well worth it.
