Take Control of Excessive Sweating with a Simple, Effective Solution
Excessive sweating caused by overactive sweat glands, often affecting the underarms, hands, and feet, can interfere with daily comfort, confidence, and quality of life. While sweating helps regulate body temperature, this type of perspiration goes beyond what’s necessary and can occur even without heat or physical activity, sometimes soaking through clothing and creating emotional distress.
At SKIN Clinics, we offer advanced BOTOX® treatment to help manage this condition, serving clients across Calgary and surrounding areas, including Marda Loop, Upper and Lower Mount Royal, Bank View, and Strathcona. When clinical-strength antiperspirants are no longer effective, our dermatologist-led approach provides a trusted solution for long-lasting relief.
How BOTOX® Helps You Sweat Less, Live More
If you’ve already tried a topical aluminum chloride antiperspirant, such as Drysol®, without success, you may be a candidate for BOTOX® treatment to manage excessive sweating. This advanced neuromodulator therapy works by blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands, significantly reducing perspiration in the treated areas.
BOTOX® has been shown to reduce sweating by up to 90 percent in key areas like the underarms (axilla), palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. Many clients describe the results as life-changing, especially when sweating impacts their daily comfort, clothing, or confidence.
In many cases, this treatment may be covered under extended health insurance. No referral is required. Simply book your complimentary consultation and take the next step toward lasting relief and renewed self-assurance.
