Botox for excessive sweating
Stop planning your clothes around sweat
Hyperhidrosis is sweating well beyond what the body needs to cool down. It's common, it's medical, and it isn't a hygiene problem.
Botox is FDA-approved to treat severe underarm sweating in adults when prescription-strength antiperspirants aren't enough. It works by quieting the nerve signals to the sweat glands in the treated area. Palms and feet can also be treated, which is off-label.
- Sweat marks through shirts most days
- Antiperspirants that barely help
- Changing clothes during the day
- Avoiding handshakes or certain fabrics
$12.50 a unit, or $10 a unit for Ritual members, who also get $50 off every toxin treatment. Units vary by area and are agreed before treatment.
Is this for you?
Treatment is physician-planned and physician-injected, with doses set for your anatomy and the problem you're treating.

★★★★★
Dr. Kendall took the time to understand my goals and developed a personalized approach rather than treating me just like another patient.
★★★★★
Most enjoyable experience from the moment I walked in. Dr. Kendall was so gracious, informative and professional about the service I was about to experience.
How long does it last?
Results often last several months. Most people come back when they notice sweating returning.
Does it hurt?
It's a series of small, shallow injections. Dr. Kendall uses steps to keep you comfortable, and it's over quickly.
Will I sweat more somewhere else?
Treating the underarms doesn't typically change how you sweat elsewhere. Your body still regulates temperature normally.
