Hyperhidrosis
treat excessive sweating
Revive often performs neurotoxin (BOTOX®, Dysport®, or Jeuveau) injections for those experiencing profuse sweating of the underarms, hands, and feet. Our Certified Cosmetic Injectors first evaluate each individual to diagnosis hyperhidrosis and then customize a treatment plan based on personal needs. The number of neurotoxin units used, injection site, and frequency of treatment will vary with each client.
HOW DOES NEUROTOXIN TREAT EXCESSIVE UNDERARM SWEATING?
Neurotoxin consists of purified proteins that block the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. By interrupting this chemical messenger, neurotoxin prevents sweat prevention at the injection site. Strategic and precise placement of injections is the key to effectively stopping the glands from producing sweat. A single treatment of several injections is typically sufficient to reduce sweating for several months; however, follow-up sessions are usually necessary to maintain results.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING TREATMENT?
- Prior to treatment, you will be prepped with a cleanse of the area. These areas are then marked for injection!
- BOTOX®, Dysport®, or Jeuveau injections are made in the skin near the sweat glands responsible for perspiration and are administered using a very fine needle. Injections are shallow and relatively painless, injected just below the surface of the skin, where they remain.
- Approximately 10-20 injections in each underarm are made. The standard dose is 50 units per underarm but may vary depending on the patient.
- Treatment time may take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the injection site.
- There is little to no downtime associated with this treatment, and most patients are able to return to their normal routine immediately.
You should notice an initial improvement in excessive sweating within about 2 weeks. Repeated treatment is safe and effective for hyperhidrosis and consistently results in long-lasting improvements and a significant reduction in excessive sweating, thus improving quality of life.
HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT LAST?
The effects of neurotoxin injections usually last approximately 4 to 6 months. Although, some patients are free from excessive sweating for more than 7 months to a year.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?
Most patients do not experience side effects after treatment. However, localized pain or mild bruising may occur near the injection site for some people.
WHAT ELSE CAN NEUROTOXIN TREAT?
Many people also use BOTOX® Dysport®, or Jeuveau to lessen the look of facial lines or in conjunction with dermal fillers in a procedure known as a “liquid facelift.”
Using neurotoxin to treat hyperhidrosis is most effective when performed by a knowledgeable certified injector or nurse practitioner who is experienced with the procedure. The Certified Cosmetic Injectors at Revive at The Group Med Spa are highly skilled in using proper injection techniques that dispense the right amount of neurotoxin into the appropriate location.

Testimonials
I love the privacy of the relaxation area so we aren’t awkwardly sitting together in the open lobby, especially when I was nervous before my first appointment! Oh, and your treatment rooms are awesome. I’ve been to specialists’ offices that were tiny and cramped in comparison.
Walking into this space is like stepping into a bubble of love and beauty. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly. The services provided are superb. I loved my massage with Angela. Thank you for what you all do to help the rest of us feel ah-MAZING!
First time getting lip filler, I was so nervous! Jodi Arp was my injector and she was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable and at ease! My lips look so great I couldn’t be happier! I will definitely be going back!
Great experience!! Felt very comfortable and welcomed. Would recommend this Spa to anyone who wants to be pampered and come out looking great!
I drove two hours from my home, past Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, to Revive for toxin and lip filler. I have done my research on injectables for a while now and was impressed with Revive’s website. Professional and appealing!
Everyone at Revive is so professional and kind. They are so informative and knowledgeable. I have never felt any pressure to do anything, if anything, they tend to start small and make sure their clients are happy and getting what they want! They are amazing! I cannot say enough great things about them!
