Botox for Hyperhidrosis in Dubai — Stop Excessive Sweating
An FDA-approved medical treatment for excessive underarm, palm, or sole sweating — not just cosmetic Botox, but genuine relief.
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition, not just discomfort — it causes sweating far beyond what's needed to regulate body temperature, most often affecting the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet. Unlike most Botox treatments on this site, this one is FDA-approved for a medical indication, not only cosmetic use.
How Botox Treats Excessive Sweating
Botox blocks the nerve signals that activate your sweat glands. When injected into the affected area, it prevents the glands from being triggered — reducing sweat production significantly, often by 80–90% in the treated area.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
- Underarms — the most common and FDA-approved indication
- Palms (palmar hyperhidrosis) — for excessive hand sweating
- Soles of the feet — for excessive foot sweating
What to Expect
- Consultation. Our doctor confirms the diagnosis and discusses which area(s) to treat.
- The injections. Multiple small, shallow injections spread across the treatment area — typically 50 to 100 units in total, notably more than facial areas.
- Straight back to your day. No downtime, though numbing cream is commonly used given the higher number of injection points.
Timeline & Cost
| What | Detail |
|---|---|
| Results visible | Within a few days to 2 weeks |
| Duration | 6–9 months — longer than most facial areas |
| Units required | 50–100 total |
| Cost in Dubai | Around AED 3,500 |
Because hyperhidrosis treatment uses significantly more product than a facial area, it sits at a higher price point — but also lasts notably longer, at 6 to 9 months compared to the typical 3 to 4 months elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition causing excessive sweating beyond what's needed to regulate body temperature, most commonly affecting the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet.
Is Botox FDA-approved for excessive sweating?
Yes, Botox is FDA-approved specifically for treating severe underarm hyperhidrosis, in addition to its cosmetic uses. It works by blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands.
Does insurance cover Botox for hyperhidrosis in Dubai?
Some health insurance plans in the UAE cover Botox for hyperhidrosis when it's classified as a medical necessity rather than cosmetic, though this varies by provider and policy. It's worth checking directly with your insurer before booking, or asking the clinic for a medical report to support a claim.
How many units of Botox are used for hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis treatment typically uses 50 to 100 units in total, significantly more than facial treatment areas, since larger surface areas like the underarms require broader coverage.
How long do results last?
Hyperhidrosis results typically last 6 to 9 months, notably longer than most facial Botox treatments.
Does the treatment hurt?
Multiple small injections are used across the treatment area, which can feel like a series of quick pinches. Numbing cream can be applied beforehand to minimize discomfort.
