Effective Relief for Excessive Underarm Sweating in Kirkland & Edmonds

Excessive underarm sweating, known medically as axillary hyperhidrosis, can be embarrassing and disruptive.
At PUR Skin Clinic, we offer an effective, nonsurgical solution: small doses of Botox® injected into the underarms to temporarily block the nerves that trigger sweat gland activity. This treatment gives you the freedom to live your life without worrying about damp clothes or sweat stains.

Benefits

Why Choose Botox® for Hyperhidrosis

Botox® for hyperhidrosis offers more than temporary relief, it provides lasting improvement in comfort and confidence. Below are the most significant advantages patients can expect.

Dramatic reduction in sweating: Most patients experience more than a 50% decrease in underarm sweat after treatment, often calling the change life-changing.
Long-lasting results: Relief typically lasts 6–9 months, with some patients enjoying dryness for up to a year. Quick maintenance treatments restore results as needed.
Quick, in-office procedure: Sessions take only 20–30 minutes, using a topical anesthetic or ice before tiny injections across the underarm area. No surgery or downtime is required.
Improved confidence and comfort: By eliminating the worry of sweat stains, patients report greater self-assurance in professional and social settings.

AREAS TREATED

Common Areas Treated with Botox® for hyperhidrosis

Botox® for hyperhidrosis can be applied to several localized areas where sweat glands are concentrated. Treatment is most effective when injections are placed just beneath the skin, directly targeting overactive sweat glands.

Underarms (axilla): The most common treatment site, providing long-lasting dryness and comfort.
Palms of the hands: Effective for reducing clammy hands, though temporary muscle weakness may occur.
Soles of the feet: Can improve daily comfort and reduce shoe damage from excessive sweating.
Other localized areas: In select cases, Botox may also help with sweating in small, targeted regions.

What To Expect

About the Botox® for Hyperhidrosis Procedure

Knowing what to expect can help you feel comfortable and prepared before your first treatment. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and designed to give you long-lasting relief from excessive sweating.

Consultation and diagnosis: Your provider reviews your medical history, confirms primary hyperhidrosis, and answers any questions before treatment.
Preparation: The underarm area is cleansed and marked with a treatment grid. A numbing cream or ice pack may be applied for comfort.
Precise injections: A fine needle delivers small amounts of Botox® into each marked point. The injections feel like pinpricks and only take a few minutes.
Quick appointment: The entire procedure usually lasts 20–30 minutes, and you can return to work or drive yourself home right after.
Minimal downtime and aftercare: Most normal activities resume immediately, but avoid heavy exercise, saunas, or hot showers for 24 hours. Wait until the next day to apply deodorant.
Gradual improvement: Sweat glands typically become inactive within 2–4 weeks. Most patients experience several months of dryness, with repeat treatments extending results.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hyperhidrosis and how does Botox®help?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which the sweat glands are overactive, causing excessive perspiration without an obvious trigger. Botox®works by blocking the chemical signals from nerves that tell the sweat glands to produce sweat. Without these signals, sweating in the treated area is dramatically reduced.

Is Botox® treatment painful?

Most people experience only minimal discomfort during the procedure. The needles used are very fine, and a topical numbing agent or ice can make the injections feel like tiny pinpricks. Mild bruising or tenderness afterwards is possible but resolves quickly.

How long do results last?

Results typically last 6–9 months, with many patients seeing relief for up to a year. High-dose protocols have led to relapse-free periods of 19–29 months in some cases . Repeated treatments may enhance outcomes over time .

Where does the sweat go?

Botox® doesn’t shift sweat to other parts of your body. It simply reduces or stops the sweat production in the treated area without affecting overall sweating behavior .

Can I shave or wax after the procedure?

Yes; just wait about 24 hours. Avoid shaving, waxing, or deodorant for the first day. After that, you may resume your normal grooming routine safely.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a quick consultation about laser hair removal.   It was all very nice,  clean and professional looking here.

I was surprised to find that there was consultation fee if $50.00.  I tight a bit steep, but they do add it to your treatment plan if you book sessions.   Honestly,  I probably missed that detail and was happy to pay for the consultation.   Just be aware that there is a charge for the consultation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with PUR was wonderful! What a lovely spa!
The decor is clean and pristine, the staff are all very friendly and welcoming.
Most of all, I adore Anya, My new aesthetician! Very gifted, and knowledgeable.
I had the same aesthetician for 30 years who retired. Change is very hard after a relationship like that.

Anya was a pleasant surprise; Pure bliss! I liked her so much. I have actually booked two additional appointment As her schedule fills up quick.

As most women will tell you, we women hold up (at least) half the world. This is not just vanity, it is not just luxury. It is a little boost, a decompression of the tension that shows up on our faces. PUR is the place to let all that tension & facial tightness go. I had forgotten how much tension I hold in my forehead and my chin. Anya took it all away.

This is a treat you deserve ladies!

Thank you to the entire PUR staff, especially Anya!
