Botox for Sweating
Expand Your Comfort Zone: A Discreet Yet Effective Solution
Intense work pace, social life, presentations, meetings…
Uncontrolled sweating in areas such as the underarms, hands or feet can quietly yet profoundly affect quality of life. Clothing choices become limited, handshakes are avoided, and confidence in social settings can be shaken.
At her practice in Nişantaşı, Dr. Nur Bayraktar uses Botox for sweating to help you manage excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in a fast, safe and long-lasting way. In this treatment, the goal is not only to reduce the activity of the sweat glands — but also to restore your social comfort.
What Is Excessive Sweating? Is It a Medical Issue?
Sweating is essential for maintaining the body’s temperature balance. However, in some people — especially in the underarms, palms and soles of the feet — intense, constant sweating can occur that is unrelated to physical activity. This can lead to:
- Staining of clothes
- Wet palms
- A feeling of slipperiness
- Social anxiety related to odor
- Persistent discomfort in daily life
This condition, called hyperhidrosis, is a medical problem and can be treated.

How Does Sweat Botox Work?
Botulinum toxin works by blocking the nerve signals that go to the sweat glands. In this way, sweat production in that area is temporarily stopped.
Dr Bayraktar determines the area to be treated after a detailed assessment. The injections are performed with fine needles, quickly and in a controlled manner.
Treatment areas:
- Armpits
- Palms
- Soles of the feet
- Localised sweating areas such as the back or forehead (planned individually)
What to Expect After the Procedure?
After sweat Botox, you can return to your daily life immediately. The effects usually begin within 3–7 days and fully settle within a maximum of 2 weeks.
Choosing clothes becomes easier, social confidence increases, and the feeling of wetness in the palms disappears.
Although the duration of effect varies from person to person, it typically lasts around 6–8 months. The procedure can be repeated, and with repeated sessions the duration of effect may increase.
Who Is It Suitable For?
- Individuals diagnosed with hyperhidrosis
- Those who withdraw from social life in the summer months due to sweating
- Professionals who work with their hands (doctors, artists, presenters, etc.)
- People who have had Botox before but have not used it for sweating
Dr Bayraktar creates an individual treatment plan for each person, tailored to their lifestyle, daily challenges and sweating profile.
Not Just an Aesthetic Procedure, a Comfort Treatment
Although sweat Botox is often perceived as an “aesthetic procedure”, in reality it is a functional solution that improves daily comfort and helps eliminate a problem that may cause a person to withdraw into themselves.
And this solution makes a real difference when it is performed with the right technique, by the right physician, in the right setting.
