Hyperhidrosis Treatment Areas
What Hyperhidrosis Treatment (Botox) Treats
.webp&w=3840&q=75)
Underarm Sweating (Axillary Hyperhidrosis)
The most common treatment area. Botox injected across the underarm creates a zone of blocked sweat signal, dramatically reducing wetness and odour for 6–9 months per treatment session.
Treatments+
Botox is placed in a grid across the underarm to block the nerve signals that trigger sweating, cutting wetness and odour for 6 to 9 months per session.
Causes+
Overactive nerves keep signalling underarm sweat glands, so sweating stays constant rather than tied to heat or activity.
Hyperhidrosis Results
What to expect, from treatment day to peak dryness
Immediate (Day 1)
Day 1 · zero downtime
Treatment takes 20 to 30 minutes, with the injections delivered in a grid across the area. Mild tenderness at the injection sites is normal and settles within hours. You can return to your usual activities right away.
First Two Weeks
First 2 weeks · sweating eases
Sweating gradually reduces as the Botox blocks the signal reaching your sweat glands. Most patients notice clear dryness between day 7 and day 14. The full effect is usually in place by the end of week 2.
Peak Results (Months 1–6)
Months 1 to 6 · steady relief
Once results settle, the treated areas stay noticeably drier through everyday activity, heat, and stress. Most patients enjoy 6 to 9 months of relief per session before sweating gradually returns and a repeat treatment is considered.

FAQ
Your Hyperhidrosis Questions,
Answered by Victoria
Everything you need to know about Botox for excessive sweating before your appointment at Victoria Rose Aesthetics.
Most patients experience 6–9 months of significantly reduced sweating per treatment. This is longer than cosmetic Botox because sweat glands do not develop the same tolerance as facial muscles. Consistent maintenance often leads to progressively longer-lasting results.
Some private insurance plans in Canada cover Botox for diagnosed hyperhidrosis, often when conservative treatments such as prescription antiperspirants or oral medications have not provided adequate relief. Coverage varies by carrier and plan, so we recommend contacting your provider directly to confirm benefits and ask about per-unit reimbursement. At Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering, our team can supply a detailed receipt itemizing the units administered, the treatment area, and the diagnostic code your insurer requires, and Victoria Rose Cyr, RN BScN, can provide a clinical letter outlining your assessment and treatment plan if your insurer requests practitioner documentation. OHIP does not cover Botox for hyperhidrosis in Ontario, so coverage routes through private extended health benefits.
Underarm hyperhidrosis typically requires 50–100 units total. 25–50 units per side, depending on the size of your sweat zone and the severity of your condition. The exact dose is confirmed after sweat mapping at your consultation.
Underarm treatment is well-tolerated with topical numbing applied beforehand. Palm treatment can be more sensitive. We use a nerve block for palmar hyperhidrosis to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
Yes. Scalp and forehead hyperhidrosis responds well to Botox. Injections are placed superficially along the affected zones. This is a popular treatment for patients whose scalp sweating affects styling, makeup, or self-confidence.
Compensatory sweating in untreated areas is a documented phenomenon but is not common at the doses used for hyperhidrosis treatment. We discuss this risk during your consultation and can map multiple zones if you have a history of compensatory response.
Yes. Botox is a Health Canada-approved treatment for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) that blocks the nerve signals triggering sweat glands in the underarms, palms, scalp, and lower back. The effect is local to the injection grid and does not stop sweating elsewhere on the body. At Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering, Victoria Rose Cyr, RN BScN, begins with a starch-iodine sweat-mapping test to identify active zones, then places Botox in a precise grid using ultra-fine needles. Topical numbing is applied for comfort, particularly for palm treatments. Most patients see significant sweat reduction within 4 to 7 days, with full results at 2 weeks. A complimentary 2-week follow-up is included to assess coverage and address any zones that need a touch-up.
Hyperhidrosis treatment with Botox is a clinical procedure that uses small, superficial injections of botulinum toxin to block the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands. The result is a significant reduction in sweating in the treated area, typically 6 to 9 months of relief per session. The treatment is most commonly used on the underarms, palms, scalp, and lower back. At Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering, your VRA injector performs a starch-iodine sweat-mapping test first to identify your active sweat zones, then delivers Botox in a precise grid using ultra-fine needles. Topical numbing is applied beforehand for comfort. There is zero downtime, results develop over 4 to 14 days, and a complimentary 2-week follow-up is included.
