Botox for Excessive Foot Sweating (Plantar Hyperhidrosis)
Struggling with persistent foot sweating that disrupts your comfort or confidence? Botox injections for hyperhidrosis offer a safe, non-surgical solution designed to reduce sweat production and help restore dryness and control.
Hyperhidrosis occurs when the sweat glands become overactive, leading to ongoing moisture that can cause odor, discomfort, and increase the risk of fungal infections. Botox—commonly associated with cosmetic wrinkle treatment—can also be used medically to block the nerve signals that trigger excessive sweating in the feet.
During treatment, a podiatrist carefully administers small injections into specific areas of the foot. The session is relatively quick and well-tolerated, with minimal downtime.

- Reduces excessive foot sweating
- Helps prevent odor, skin breakdown, and fungal infections
