Underarm Hyperhidrosis Treatment (Botulinum Toxin Injection)

Reduce Excessive Underarm Sweating

Excessive underarm sweating (primary axillary hyperhidrosis) can affect patients' daily activities and quality of life. When such sweating cannot be adequately controlled with topical treatments, botulinum toxin injection may be an effective non-surgical treatment option.

At CUHK Medical Centre, excessive underarm sweating treatment is provided following a medical assessment to determine whether it is suitable for patient’s condition.

How does the treatment work?

Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine from nerve endings, reducing the signals that stimulate the sweat glands. As a result, sweat production in the treated underarm area is reduced.

Botulinum toxin acts directly on the communication between nerves and sweat glands to help control excessive sweating.

Suitable for

．Experience excessive underarm sweating affecting daily life
．Excessive underarm sweating inadequately controlled by topical treatments
．Prefer a non-surgical treatment option

A consultation with our doctor is required to determine whether the treatment is appropriate.

Evidence-based treatment

Botulinum toxin injection is a well-established treatment option for primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Certain botulinum toxin products have received regulatory approval for this indication. The treating physician will determine the appropriate treatment based on the patient’s individual clinical needs.

Multiple clinical studies have demonstrated its efficacy and safety in reducing excessive underarm sweating ¹⁻³.
