Botox® for Hyperhidrosis: Clinical Relief for Excessive Sweating

80-90% Sweat Reduction | FDA-Approved | Insurance-Ready Documentation

Dealing with Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is more than just a physical inconvenience—it’s a daily source of social and professional anxiety. At Sparkle Lifestyle & MediSpa, we provide a medical-grade solution using Botox® to temporarily deactivate overactive sweat glands. This targeted treatment allows you to reclaim your confidence, protect your wardrobe, and live a life free from the constant stress of moisture and odor.

✨ The Sparkle Advantage: Medical Documentation

At our Moncton clinic, led by National Clinical Trainer Madelaine Caissie, we understand that Hyperhidrosis is a recognized medical condition. While the injection fee is paid to the clinic, many private insurance plans in New Brunswick (Blue Cross, SunLife, etc.) cover the cost of the Botox® drug itself. We provide the necessary medical coding and documentation to help you maximize your benefits.

How Botox® “Turns Off” Sweat

Botox works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, the chemical messenger that signals your sweat glands to activate. When precisely injected into the treatment area, the glands simply stop receiving the signal to produce moisture.

Precision Targeting: We only deactivate the glands in the specific area (underarms, palms, or feet). Your body will continue to regulate temperature normally through other areas.
Long-Lasting Freedom: Unlike facial Botox, which lasts 3-4 months, Botox for sweating typically provides 6 to 12 months of total relief.
Odor Elimination: By removing the moisture that bacteria thrive on, many clients notice a significant decrease in underarm odor.

Common Treatment Areas & Dosages

Area	Typical Units Required	Results Duration
Underarms (Both)	100 Units (50 per side)	7 – 12 Months
Palms (Both)	100 – 150 Units	6 – 9 Months
Soles of Feet	100 – 150 Units	6 – 9 Months

The Treatment Roadmap

1. Mapping
We use a specialized iodine-starch test to identify your specific overactive “sweat zones” for maximum precision.

2. Injection
Using ultra-fine needles, the Botox is placed just below the skin. The process takes less than 30 minutes.

3. Freedom
Results begin in 4 days, with full “dryness” achieved at 2 weeks. Resume normal activity immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to stop sweating in one area?

Yes. The sweat glands in your underarms or palms represent less than 2% of the body’s total glands. Deactivating them in a localized area has zero impact on your body’s overall ability to cool itself down.

Does it hurt more than facial Botox?

The underarms are surprisingly comfortable; most clients rate it a 2/10. For sensitive areas like the palms or feet, we use topical numbing and vibration therapy to ensure a nearly painless experience.

Will my insurance cover the injection fee?

Most insurance plans cover the medication (the Botox vial) but not the medical injection fee. We will provide you with the specific medical receipts so you can submit your claim to Medavie Blue Cross, SunLife, or Manulife efficiently.
