Hyperhidrosis – Excessive Sweating

Do you feel like you sweat more than you should? Have you tried every tip and trick in the book, but nothing seems to help you stay dry? You may be living with hyperhidrosis – a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating that occurs regardless of temperature or activity level.

The good news is you have options to treat your condition. At Advanced Aesthetics, we provide advanced, customized solutions designed to effectively manage hyperhidrosis and restore your confidence and comfort. Contact us today at Advanced Aesthetics Las Vegas and schedule your consultation to learn more about hyperhidrosis!

What Is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition related to excessive sweating. This excessive sweating occurs regardless of factors such as heat or level of activity. Excessive sweating from this condition commonly occurs in areas such as your hands, underarms, head or feet.

Unlike normal sweating, which helps regulate body temperature, hyperhidrosis happens when the nerves that control your sweat glands are overactive. This leads to sweat production that is far greater than your body actually needs. Research suggests that nearly 5% of the population is affected, though many cases go undiagnosed.

Signs It May Be Time to Consider Treatment

Not everyone who sweats needs medical care, but hyperhidrosis often goes beyond normal perspiration. It may be time to consider treatment if:

• You are sweating more than usual.
• You are constantly sweating through your clothing.
• Your mood or emotional well-being is negatively affected by your sweating.
• Your daily routine has been impacted by sweating.

If any of these sound familiar, you don’t have to keep struggling in silence. Hyperhidrosis can be treated to help alleviate the sweating and issues that come along with it. Contact us today to learn more!

What Causes Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating beyond what’s needed to regulate body temperature. It can be classified into two types: primary and secondary hyperhidrosis.

Primary hyperhidrosis is the most common type of hyperhidrosis. It typically affects specific areas like the underarms, palms, soles of the feet, or forehead, and it often begins during adolescence or early adulthood. The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but it’s believed to be related to overactivity in the nerves that trigger sweat glands. This type is not linked to any underlying medical condition.

Secondary hyperhidrosis, on the other hand, is caused by another medical issue or as a side effect of certain medications. It may result from conditions like hyperthyroidism, diabetes, menopause, infections, or neurological disorders. Unlike primary hyperhidrosis, it often causes generalized sweating (all over the body) and can occur at any age.

In both types, common triggers that may worsen sweating include:

• Emotional stress or anxiety
• Spicy foods or caffeine
• Heat or humidity
• Exercise or physical activity

Understanding the cause of your sweating is the first step toward finding the right treatment. A consultation can help determine the type of hyperhidrosis you have and guide you toward effective solutions.

What Are My Options to Treat Hyperhidrosis?

At Advanced Aesthetics Las Vegas, we offer Dysport as a treatment for hyperhidrosis of the underarms.

Dysport®

Dysport is an injectable neuromodulator. This means it can block nerves from interacting with muscles to give them signals to perform certain actions. When the underarms are selected as the treatment site, Dysport can help block and prevent the glands from sweating an abnormal amount.

Note: We currently offer Dysport injections for underarm hyperhidrosis only. If you experience excessive sweating in other areas, such as your hands or feet, we can discuss alternative options or refer you to a specialist if needed.

Benefits of Dysport® for Underarm Sweating

Choosing Dysport for the treatment of hyperhidrosis offers several practical advantages for those seeking relief from excessive underarm sweating:

• Fast-Acting Relief – Many patients notice results within 2 to 4 days after treatment.
• Minimally Invasive Procedure – Injections are quick and require no incisions or anesthesia.
• No Downtime – You can return to your normal routine immediately after the appointment.
• Reduces the Need for Daily Management – Less reliance on antiperspirants, extra clothing changes, or absorbent pads.
• Boosted Confidence – Wear light-colored clothing again without worry, shake hands comfortably, and participate in social or professional events with greater ease.
• Long-Lasting Relief – Results typically last up to 6 months, giving you months of freedom from the constant stress of underarm sweating.

Risks & Side Effects of Dysport® for Hyperhidrosis

Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that is considered safe when performed by trained providers. However, like all medical procedures, there are some potential risks and side effects to be aware of:

• Mild redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection site
• Temporary discomfort during or shortly after treatment
• Rare instances of mild muscle weakness near the treatment area
• Extremely rare allergic reactions to botulinum toxin

Most side effects resolve on their own within a few days. Serious complications are very rare. At Advanced Aesthetics Las Vegas, every Dysport treatment is performed by experienced providers who use precise techniques to promote your safety and ideal results. Your medical history and comfort are always reviewed in advance, so you can move forward feeling confident in your care.

What Can I Expect From Dysport® Treatment for Hyperhidrosis?

Understanding each step of the process can help you prepare and feel more at ease.

Before Your Appointment

Avoid applying deodorant, antiperspirant, or body lotion on the day of treatment. Shave the underarm area at least 24 hours in advance to minimize irritation. Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment.

During Your Treatment

Dysport is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive method for reducing excess sweating. This injectable treatment is performed as an outpatient procedure in the comfort of our Las Vegas office.

There is no set downtime following the procedure, which simply involves a minor injection performed by a member of our team. The treatment takes 15 minutes; you will be in the office for an hour.

After Your Treatment

You may resume normal activities immediately after your appointment. Avoid intense physical activity or hot showers for 24 hours. Noticeable results often begin within two to four days, with full results in about one to two weeks.

Dysport has the ability to decrease how much you sweat for up to six months, but results will vary. Additional treatments may be required to help achieve and maintain the results you’re looking for. A consultation with a member of our team will help you decide if this is the right method for you to treat your hyperhidrosis as well as develop a treatment plan to help you stay dry.

Lifestyle Tips to Maximize Results

Dysport can dramatically reduce underarm sweating, but a few simple lifestyle habits can help you get the most from your treatment and stay dry longer:

• Wear breathable fabrics: Choose cotton or moisture-wicking materials that allow air to circulate and reduce heat buildup.
• Limit sweat triggers:  Spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol can stimulate sweat glands and may increase underarm moisture.
• Practice stress management: Stress and anxiety are common triggers for sweat. Relaxation techniques like deep breathing, yoga, or meditation can help minimize flare-ups.
• Stay hydrated: Drinking water helps regulate body temperature and can sometimes reduce excessive sweating episodes.
• Avoid harsh deodorants immediately after treatment: Once cleared to resume, opt for gentle or clinical-strength products if needed.

These small changes, combined with Dysport injections, create a powerful approach to managing underarm hyperhidrosis. By maintaining a balanced lifestyle and scheduling regular touch-ups, you can enjoy lasting comfort and confidence in any situation.

Results You Can Expect With Dysport® for Hyperhidrosis

Dysport for hyperhidrosis provides quick and long-lasting relief from excessive underarm sweating. Here’s a typical treatment timeline:

• Days 2–4: Early improvements become noticeable as sweat production decreases.
• 1–2 Weeks: Full results are usually visible, with a dramatic reduction in sweating and improved comfort in daily life.
• 3–4 Months: Sweat control remains strong, allowing most patients to enjoy confidence without worrying about constant sweat management.
• 4–6 Months: Results gradually taper off as nerve activity returns. Many patients choose to schedule a maintenance session at this point.

Most people need two to three sessions per year to maintain consistent dryness. While individual responses vary, the majority of patients experience life-changing relief, including freedom in clothing choices, reduced stress in social situations, and greater overall comfort.

Ideal Candidates for Dysport Treatment

Not everyone who sweats excessively has hyperhidrosis, and not every treatment is right for every patient. Dysport may be an ideal option for individuals who:

• Have been diagnosed with primary axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the underarms)
• Have not responded well to prescription-strength antiperspirants or other noninvasive treatments
• Are seeking a nonsurgical solution with minimal downtime
• Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
• Do not have a known allergy to botulinum toxin or a neuromuscular condition

If you meet some or all of these criteria, Dysport may be a suitable and effective option. A consultation with our experienced providers will help determine the best treatment path based on your medical history and symptoms.

Cost & Maintenance

The cost of Dysport for hyperhidrosis varies depending on how much product is needed and the severity of your sweating. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized treatment plan along with exact pricing details.

Most patients require maintenance treatments every four to six months to keep symptoms under control. While this represents an ongoing investment, many find it to be more cost-effective than continually purchasing prescription antiperspirants, replacing sweat-damaged clothing, or managing the stress and discomfort caused by untreated hyperhidrosis.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dysport® and Hyperhidrosis

Is the injection painful?

Dysport injections are quick and generally well-tolerated. Patients often describe the sensation as a brief pinch or sting. If you’re concerned about discomfort, we can apply a topical numbing agent before the procedure.

Can I wear deodorant after treatment?

We recommend avoiding deodorant or antiperspirant for 24 hours after your Dysport treatment to minimize irritation and allow the injection sites to settle. You can resume your regular hygiene routine the next day unless otherwise advised.

How many sessions will I need?

Most individuals begin with a single session and return every four to six months as the effects wear off. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your sweat levels and response to the first treatment.

Will I start sweating more in other areas?

Dysport works by blocking sweat production in the treated area only. There is no evidence that treating one area causes your body to “compensate” by increasing sweat in other areas. Most patients do not experience increased sweating in other areas.

How do I know if my sweating is medical hyperhidrosis?

If you regularly sweat through clothing, even in cool temperatures or without exertion, or if sweating interferes with your daily activities or confidence, you may have hyperhidrosis. A consultation can confirm whether Dysport is the right solution for you.

Can Dysport® completely stop my sweating?

Most patients experience a dramatic reduction in underarm sweating — often up to 80–90% less moisture in the treated area. While this can feel life-changing, the goal of treatment is not to stop sweating altogether. Sweating is a natural and healthy function that helps regulate body temperature, so your body will always need to maintain some level of perspiration.

How is Dysport® different from Botox®?

Both Dysport and Botox are FDA-approved neuromodulators that work by blocking signals to the sweat glands. Dysport is known for spreading slightly more within the treated area, which can make it especially effective for larger treatment zones like the underarms.

Is Dysport® safe for everyone?

Dysport is safe for most healthy adults, but it may not be recommended if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of neuromuscular conditions. Our providers will review your medical history to ensure it’s the right fit for you.

What happens if I stop treatment?

If you decide not to continue with Dysport, your sweating will gradually return to pre-treatment levels over time. There are no withdrawal effects — you’ll simply notice your symptoms coming back.

Will I still sweat normally in other areas?

Dysport works only on the sweat glands in the treated underarm area. Your body will continue to produce sweat in other untreated areas, which is important for regulating temperature and keeping you healthy. Treating your underarms does not stop your body from cooling itself naturally — it only reduces the excessive, unnecessary sweating that disrupts your comfort and daily routine.
