The Treatment
What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition where sweat glands become overactive, producing far more sweat than the body needs for temperature regulation. At Templum Aesthetics & Wellness in Kirkland, we offer FDA-approved BOTOX® injections that block the nerve signals triggering this response.
- Affects underarms, hands, feet, and face — often without any obvious trigger or cause
- Often begins in childhood or adolescence; may have a genetic component linked to sympathetic nervous system overactivity
- Significantly impacts self-confidence, wardrobe choices, and professional and social interactions
- BOTOX® is the gold-standard medical intervention — clinically proven with up to 87% reduction in sweat output
FDA-Approved Treatment
How BOTOX® Stops Sweating
A precise, 3-step mechanism that delivers lasting dry comfort — no surgery, no recovery time.
01
Precision Injection
BOTOX® is administered just beneath the skin using ultra-fine needles in a measured grid
pattern — ensuring complete, even coverage of the treatment area. Topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
02
Nerve Signal Block
Botulinum toxin binds to the nerve endings that normally trigger sweat glands. Without these
acetylcholine signals, sweat glands in the treated zone effectively switch off — stopping sweat production at the
source.
03
Dry, Lasting Confidence
Within 2–4 weeks you’ll experience a dramatic transformation. Most patients report 82–87% less
sweating in treated areas — wearing any color, shaking hands freely, and living without constant
self-consciousness.
Where We Treat Excessive Sweating
Most Popular · FDA Approved
Underarm Hyperhidrosis
The most common and most treatable form of hyperhidrosis. BOTOX® is FDA-approved specifically for axillary (underarm) sweating since 2004, with decades of clinical evidence supporting its safety and effectiveness. Patients see the longest-lasting results in this area — often 7–9 months between treatments.
Symptoms Treated
- Sweat is soaking through shirts despite antiperspirant
- Visible sweat stains and odor affect confidence
- Needing to change clothes multiple times daily
- Avoiding certain colors or fabrics due to sweating
Off-Label · Highly Effective
Palmar Hyperhidrosis
Sweaty palms are one of the most socially disruptive forms of hyperhidrosis — affecting handshakes, document handling, and daily touch-screen use. Our experienced Kirkland injectors use nerve-block numbing to ensure a comfortable experience, with results that dramatically improve professional and personal confidence.
Symptoms Treated
- Constant sweat making handshakes awkward or embarrassing
- Difficulty using touch screens, keyboards, or tools
- Paper, books, or documents are becoming damp
- Social anxiety triggered by visible palm sweating
Off-Label · Foot Health
Plantar Hyperhidrosis
Excessively sweaty feet cause not only discomfort but chronic health issues — persistent moisture promotes fungal infections, foot odor, and skin breakdown. BOTOX® for feet reduces sweat output significantly, improving foot hygiene, comfort in footwear, and overall quality of life.
Symptoms Treated
- Soaking through socks requiring multiple changes per day
- Persistent foot odor despite good hygiene
- Slipping inside shoes due to sweat
- Recurring fungal infections from chronic moisture
Specialized Treatment
Craniofacial Hyperhidrosis
Facial and scalp sweating in professional or social settings can be deeply distressing — makeup running, sweat dripping into eyes, or a visibly glistening forehead despite cool temperatures. This treatment requires a highly experienced injector to preserve natural facial movement while eliminating excessive sweating.
Symptoms Treated
- Forehead or scalp sweat during presentations or meetings
- Makeup not adhering due to facial moisture
- Sweat dripping into eyes causing discomfort
- Excessive upper lip or nose sweating
FDA-Approved Treatment
Two Types of Hyperhidrosis
Knowing which type you have guides the most effective treatment path. Our providers assess both at your consultation.
Most Common
Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis
Localized excessive sweating without an underlying medical cause. Often hereditary and begins before age 25. The sympathetic nervous system becomes chronically overactive in specific areas — typically underarms, palms, soles, or face.
- Sweating is localized to specific zones
- No identifiable underlying medical condition
- Strong genetic/hereditary component
- Often starts in childhood or teens
- Ideal candidate for BOTOX® treatment
Secondary Cause
Secondary Generalized Hyperhidrosis
Whole-body sweating triggered by an underlying condition — such as thyroid disorders, diabetes, menopause, infections, or certain medications. Treating the root cause often reduces symptoms; BOTOX® provides targeted relief where needed.
- Affects the whole body, not just focal areas
- Caused by a treatable underlying condition
- May be triggered by medications (antidepressants, etc.)
- Often starts in adulthood
- Botox used as adjunct relief alongside treatment

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will I see results after treatment?
Most patients notice reduced sweating within 2–4 days of their BOTOX® appointment. Full results — typically 82–87% sweat reduction — are reached at the 2-week mark. Underarm treatments tend to show faster and more dramatic initial results than hands or feet.
How long do results from BOTOX® for sweat last?
Underarm treatments average 7–9 months, with many patients achieving up to 12 months. Hands and feet typically last 4–6 months per treatment. With consistent maintenance, some patients report progressively longer intervals between sessions.
Is BOTOX® for hyperhidrosis covered by insurance?
For underarm hyperhidrosis specifically, many insurance plans — including those common in King County and the Seattle area — do cover BOTOX® when treatment with prescription antiperspirants has failed. We recommend calling your insurer directly; our team can provide the necessary diagnostic codes.
Does the treatment hurt? What is recovery like?
Underarm injections are well-tolerated with topical numbing cream — most patients describe it as a mild pinching sensation. Hand and foot treatments require more injections; we recommend nerve blocks for comfort. There is no downtime — you can return to normal activities immediately after your appointment.
Do you serve patients from Seattle and Bellevue, not just Kirkland?
Absolutely. The majority of our hyperhidrosis patients come from Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Sammamish, and across Eastside King County. Our Kirkland location on the Eastside is easily accessible via I-405 and SR-520. Free parking is available at the clinic.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Side effects are minimal and temporary. The most common are mild bruising or soreness at injection sites, which resolve within a few days. Rarely, patients may notice temporary muscle weakness near the injection area. Our board-certified injectors conduct a thorough health assessment before every treatment to minimize risk.
