Botox for Excessive
Sweating in Los Angeles
Stop excessive sweating with Botox at Mirror Mirror Med Spa. FDA-approved hyperhidrosis treatment for underarms and palms — starting at $1,200. Results last 6 to 12 months.
FDA-Approved Sweat Reduction — Without Surgery or Medication
Hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating beyond what the body needs for temperature regulation — affects approximately 5 percent of the population. It is a recognized medical condition driven by overactive sweat glands that respond disproportionately to normal triggers. Prescription antiperspirants and oral medications either fail or cause systemic side effects for many patients.
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) is FDA-approved for primary axillary hyperhidrosis — excessive underarm sweating. It works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat gland secretion. The effect is highly localized — only the treated area stops sweating. The rest of the body continues to sweat normally. Results last 6 to 12 months and treatment can be repeated indefinitely.
At Mirror Mirror Med Spa in Los Angeles, Botox for hyperhidrosis starts at $1,200 for underarms or palms. Most clients notice a dramatic reduction in sweating within 2 to 4 days of treatment.

How Botox Hyperhidrosis Treatment Works
From consultation to dry results — here is exactly what the treatment process looks like at Mirror Mirror.
Assessment
Your provider maps the active sweat zones using a Minor iodine-starch test — a simple visual test that identifies exactly where sweat gland activity is highest. This ensures Botox is placed precisely where it is most needed.
The Injection
A series of small Botox injections are placed in a grid pattern across the treatment area — typically 15 to 20 injections per underarm. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand. The full treatment takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
Results Onset
Sweating begins to reduce noticeably within 2 to 4 days as the Botox blocks acetylcholine release at the sweat gland nerve junction. Full effect is reached at 2 weeks. No downtime — clients return to normal activity immediately after treatment.
Duration & Repeat
Results last 6 to 12 months depending on individual metabolism and treatment area. Most Mirror Mirror clients return every 6 to 9 months to maintain consistent dryness. The treatment can be safely repeated indefinitely with no loss of efficacy over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Botox for excessive sweating at Mirror Mirror Med Spa in Los Angeles.
Sweat glands are activated by acetylcholine — a neurotransmitter released by nerve endings at the gland. Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) blocks the release of acetylcholine at those nerve-gland junctions, preventing the signal from reaching the sweat gland. Without the trigger signal, the gland cannot produce sweat. The effect is highly localized — only the injected area stops sweating. The rest of the body continues to regulate temperature normally. Results onset within 2 to 4 days and last 6 to 12 months.
At Mirror Mirror Med Spa, Botox for hyperhidrosis starts at $1,200 for both underarms or both palms in a single session. This price covers the full treatment zone — not a per-unit rate. Hyperhidrosis treatment requires significantly more Botox units than a facial wrinkle treatment, which is why it is priced as a flat-rate procedure rather than per unit. See our excessive sweating treatment page for full detail.
Results from Botox hyperhidrosis treatment typically last 6 to 12 months — significantly longer than the 3 to 4 months seen with facial Botox. This longer duration is attributed to the lower metabolic activity in sweat gland tissue compared to facial muscles. Most Mirror Mirror clients return every 6 to 9 months. The treatment can be safely repeated indefinitely, and there is no evidence that efficacy decreases with repeated treatment over time.
Underarm Botox for hyperhidrosis is well-tolerated — topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment, and the underarm area is relatively insensitive compared to facial injection sites. Most clients describe the injections as mild pressure or a brief sting. Palm treatment is more sensitive due to the density of nerve endings in the hands — your provider applies a more thorough numbing protocol and may use a nerve block for palm treatments to ensure comfort throughout. The full treatment takes 20 to 30 minutes.
No. Botox for hyperhidrosis is highly localized — only the injected area stops sweating. The rest of your body continues to sweat and regulate temperature normally. There is no systemic effect and no compensatory increase in sweating elsewhere in the body. Your body's ability to cool itself is not impaired by treating one or two small areas. Millions of sweat glands across the rest of your body surface remain fully active.
Yes. Hyperhidrosis Botox can be combined with facial Botox, fillers, or other injectable treatments at the same appointment. Many Mirror Mirror clients schedule their hyperhidrosis treatment alongside their regular facial Botox — making efficient use of a single visit for both. Your provider will confirm which combinations are appropriate based on your full treatment plan at consultation. See our Botox Los Angeles page for full facial Botox detail.
