Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can be embarrassing and negatively impact your quality of life. Our experts at SKN Yorkville offer consultations to help treat this condition with Botox. The areas we treat the most include the armpit area (axilla), and face (craniofacial). Although the hands and feet are also commonly affected, we do not treat these areas currently.

FAQ
Most of our treatments are virtually painless but depending on the person, there may be some discomfort around the target area. Since these treatments use injections, there is a higher chance of discomfort compared to non-invasive procedures. However, we are committed to making this process as comfortable as it can be.
Because everyone is unique and each body reacts to treatment differently, results will vary. Treatment of excessive sweating with the use of Botox usually lasts between 4-6 months.
Botox® acts by blocking the release of a neurotransmitter necessary in the sweating process. Diluted concentrations of the medication are injected by the physician into the affected areas, working to deactivate overactive sweat glands. This is an effective treatment that may last 4-6 months, depending on which area is treated.
Our experienced team of physicians and care providers are here to make sure everything goes smoothly. We will work with you to design a custom treatment plan that will safely and effectively improve your excessive sweating condition.
