When well-known actors and musicians casually mention that they’ve turned to Botox to control underarm sweating, public curiosity naturally spikes. Hearing stars like Halle Berry and Chrissy Teigen talk about hyperhidrosis—and how much relief they’ve found from armpit Botox—has helped bring this treatment into everyday conversation.
Their honesty leaves many people wondering if armpit Botox is really that effective and that simple.
At InjectCo, our goal is to educate patients on what the treatment actually does. Armpit Botox works by calming overactive sweat glands, helping you stay dry. It’s a practical, science-based option for anyone frustrated with constant perspiration—not just those in the public eye.
Your underarms have sweat glands, mostly eccrine glands, that help regulate body temperature and respond to stress. When those glands are overactive—as in the case of hyperhidrosis, a medical condition that causes excessive sweating among 15.3 million people in the United States—they produce sweat far beyond what is needed for everyday use.
When you get armpit Botox, here’s what happens:
Experienced medical professionals should always perform this treatment procedure to ensure safety and accuracy at each injection site.
Most patients notice a dramatic drop in underarm moisture within a few days to two weeks. Sweating can drop by as much as 87% and your clothes stay dry longer with no odors.
More importantly, you don’t have to keep being self-conscious about your pits. This is considered an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis.
Some celebrities have been open about using Botox to prevent underarm sweating.
These people live under intense pressure and scrutiny. They have to appear perfect under the bright studio lights and in front of paparazzi. The slightest imperfection can launch a series of fake news and tabloid gossip.
Their revelations highlight something many people deal with quietly. Thankfully, Botox for underarm sweating has become a practical solution for them, especially when they’re constantly under a spotlight that never turns off.
It’s easy to see how underarm Botox could appeal under those conditions.
For many celebrities with hyperhidrosis, this is the best option with the least noticeable cosmetic tweak.
You don’t have to walk on a red carpet to enjoy the benefits of underarm Botox injections. Here’s what everyday people (like you) can get out of armpit Botox:
Many hyperhidrosis patients experience significant improvements in their lives, such as increased confidence and better daily functioning. Some patients achieve a sustained response, with reduced sweating lasting for several months after treatment.
Many patients report noticeable improvements not only in sweat reduction but also in quality of life, social comfort, and less worry about odors or staining clothes.
At InjectCo, we keep things simple, safe, and efficient:
Patients typically receive Botox injections from our healthcare providers and may be scheduled for a follow-up appointment to assess results and address any concerns. You walk out feeling dry, fresh, and confident.
When sweat keeps interrupting your day, it is time for a solution stronger than topical agents and medications. Armpit Botox makes the most sense for you if excessive underarm sweating shows up at the worst times.
People often choose this treatment before significant moments like weddings, job interviews, live performances, or public speaking. The goal is simple: to feel confident without constantly worrying about stains or odor.
A trained injector will review your medical history, including checking for any underlying medical conditions and asking about medications such as blood thinners. That includes checking for conditions like neuromuscular disorders or pregnancy.
If you are a safe match, underarm Botox can give you relief that deodorants never delivered.
You will not walk out completely dry on day one. Armpit Botox takes a little time to settle in. The nerves that activate your sweat glands need to quiet down first. That means your results improve gradually and feel more noticeable as the days pass.
Expect a timeline roughly like this:
Underarm Botox is considered safe when performed by trained medical professionals. Because we only treat sweat glands (rather than muscles or major nerves), changes in body temperature regulation are minimal. The underarms represent a small fraction of your body’s total sweat glands.
The nervous system activates sweat glands through nerve signals, and in cases of hyperhidrosis, these nerves can be overactive, leading to excessive sweating. Botox works by blocking this nervous system activation in the treated area, reducing sweat production.
Side effects are usually mild and temporary, but may include the following:
More rare issues are very uncommon. You might notice temporary soreness in your shoulder or arm area or slight nerve sensitivity, but these effects usually fade within a few days or weeks.
Unlike surgical treatments for hyperhidrosis, such as endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy, Botox injections do not typically cause compensatory sweating. If anything feels unusual or lasts longer than expected, contact your injector so they can guide you.
Apart from armpit Botox, there are several options for treating hyperhidrosis. And you might have even tried some of these options at home:
Most patients choose Botox for underarm sweating because it hits the middle ground: Strong results, non-invasive, and quick appointments so you can return to your daily routine right away.
The cost of underarm Botox depends on how many units you need, which varies by your sweat severity and body type. At InjectCo, our Botox injections start at $12 per unit.
But think about the value:
Some insurance companies may cover the cost of Botox for hyperhidrosis if you meet specific diagnostic criteria and have tried other options first. Coverage often depends on your insurance company’s approval, so call your insurer or ask us directly.
Now we understand why celebrities like Halle Berry and Chrissy Teigen chose to undergo treatment. Botox for underarm sweating is FDA-approved, clinically validated, and highly effective. If sweat has ever held you back, you owe it to yourself to consider this. Imagine walking into your next meeting wearing a light shirt or sleeveless top without worrying about sweat marks or odor. That’s the kind of freedom that armpit Botox can give you.

Will underarm Botox make me stop sweating completely?
No, but it will significantly reduce sweat in your underarms. Your body will still sweat elsewhere, which helps keep you cool and regulate your temperature.
Is the injection painful?
Most clients describe the injection as a series of quick pinches. With numbing or ice, discomfort is very minimal.
Will anyone notice I had the treatment?
No, your underarms will look completely natural. There is no change in its appearance, scars, and discoloration.
Can I hit the gym the same day?
It’s best to wait until the next day. Give your underarms at least 24 hours to settle.
When should I book ahead of a major event (wedding, interview, etc.)?
At least two weeks before. That gives enough time for the full effect of the treatment to show.
