Botox for Plantar Hyperhidrosis (Feet)

Long-lasting relief for excessive sweating of the feet

At By Gary Aesthetics – Center for Rejuvenation & Revitalization, we offer Botox injections for plantar hyperhidrosis, an effective medical treatment for excessive sweating of the feet—one of the most uncomfortable and difficult-to-manage forms of hyperhidrosis.

Botulinum toxin works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production and helping you regain comfort and confidence in your daily life.

What Is Plantar Hyperhidrosis?

Plantar hyperhidrosis is characterized by excessive sweating of the soles of the feet, even in cool temperatures or without physical activity.

This condition can lead to:

• Constant moisture in socks and shoes
• Foot odor
• Slipping inside footwear
• Skin irritation or maceration
• Social discomfort
• Difficulty wearing certain shoes

Botox is a highly effective, non-surgical option when antiperspirants and topical treatments fail.

How the Procedure Works

1. Consultation: Evaluation of sweating severity and medical background.
2. Comfort preparation: Because the soles of the feet are sensitive, topical anesthetic or nerve blocks may be used to minimize discomfort.
3. Precise injections: Small amounts of Botox are injected across the plantar surface to target overactive sweat glands.
4. Post-treatment: Normal activities can typically be resumed immediately.

Procedure time: 20–30 minutes
Results begin: 3–7 days
