Excessive sweating can affect your confidence, comfort, and quality of life, even when you're not exercising or exposed to heat. At Centre Esthétique Montréal, we offer physician-performed Hyperhidrosis Treatment in Montreal using botulinum toxin to safely and effectively reduce excessive sweating of the underarm area, palms and feet, whatever the type of hyperhidrosis. Whether you have primary focal hyperhidrosis or simply struggle with persistent sweating that interferes with your daily activities, our personalized treatment plans are designed to help you stay drier and more comfortable. Available at both our Old Port and Village clinics in Montreal, this minimally invasive treatment delivers long-lasting relief, allowing you to feel more confident in every aspect of your personal and professional life.


Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition whose main symptom is excessive sweating, beyond what the body needs to cool itself. The most common form, primary focal hyperhidrosis, affects specific areas such as the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis), hands (palmar hyperhidrosis), and feet (plantar hyperhidrosis) without an underlying medical cause.
Hyperhidrosis Treatment uses carefully placed botulinum toxin injections to temporarily block the nerve signals that stimulate the sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production in the treated area. Performed exclusively by our experienced physicians, this safe, minimally invasive treatment provides long-lasting relief, helping improve comfort, confidence, and overall quality of life with little to no downtime.
Other options exist for excessive sweating, from topical antiperspirants prescribed by a dermatologist to iontophoresis for the palms and feet, and surgery in severe cases. At Centre Esthétique Montréal we focus on botulinum toxin injections, an effective, non-surgical option with no downtime.
In our two Montreal clinics, this treatment is performed exclusively by one of our experienced physicians using botulinum toxin injections to effectively reduce excessive sweating. The treatment is commonly performed on the underarms, palms or feet and is customized to the affected body area and severity of sweating. Results typically last several months, helping improve comfort, confidence, and quality of life with little to no downtime.

Your treatment begins with a consultation at our Old Port or Village clinic in Montreal to confirm that it is right for you. To prepare, avoid applying topical antiperspirants or deodorants for 24 hours before your appointment and do not shave the treatment area for 24 to 48 hours. Your physician will review your symptoms and medical history and answer any questions before treatment.
Your physician will first identify and map the areas of excessive sweating before administering a series of precise micro-injections of botulinum toxin into the skin. Most treatments take approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Patients typically describe the sensation as small pinches, and the procedure is generally well tolerated with minimal discomfort.
You can return to your normal daily activities immediately after treatment. Most patients begin noticing a reduction in sweating within 2 to 7 days, with full results developing after approximately 2 weeks. Results typically last 4 to 6 months, after which maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the benefits.
Follow your physician's aftercare instructions and attend follow-up appointments as recommended. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites is normal and typically resolves within a few days. Most patients benefit from maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months to maintain consistent sweat reduction and long-lasting results.

Most patients tolerate Hyperhidrosis Treatment very well. The procedure involves a series of small botulinum toxin micro-injections, which may feel like brief pinches. Treatment is completed quickly, and any discomfort is temporary. Your physician will ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible throughout your appointment.
Most patients achieve excellent results with a single treatment session. Because the effects of botulinum toxin gradually wear off over time, maintenance treatments are typically recommended every 4 to 6 months. Your physician will recommend a personalized schedule based on your symptoms, the affected areas and response.
Compensatory sweating, or increased sweating in untreated areas, is a concern often associated with surgical treatments for hyperhidrosis. It is uncommon following botulinum toxin injections because the treatment works locally, affecting only the sweat glands in the areas that are injected without altering sweating elsewhere.
The most common side effects include mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or small bruises at the injection sites. These effects are generally temporary and resolve within a few days. During your consultation, your physician will review potential risks, expected outcomes, and whether the treatment is appropriate for you.
Botulinum toxin has been extensively studied and is widely used in aesthetic and medical medicine for multiple approved indications, including hyperhidrosis. When administered by experienced licensed physicians, it has an excellent safety profile. Your physician will review your medical history to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.
