No Sweat: How Skin Worthy Can Help You Beat Excessive Sweating This Summer

With summer finally upon us, we’re all looking forward to longer days, more sunshine, and spending time outdoors. But as the temperatures rise, so too can something far less enjoyable—sweating. For those who struggle with excessive perspiration, warmer weather can bring more frustration than fun. At Skin Worthy, we understand how disruptive and embarrassing this condition can be and we’re here to help.

What Is Hyperhidrosis?

The medical term for excessive sweating is hyperhidrosis, a condition that goes beyond the body’s natural response to heat or exercise. It can significantly affect quality of life, leading to discomfort, self-consciousness, and even social anxiety. The good news? There’s an incredibly effective treatment that can provide long-lasting relief.

How Does Treatment Work?

Hyperhidrosis treatment at Skin Worthy involves injecting small amounts of a medical neurotoxin—such as Botox®—into the affected area. While Botox is widely known for its cosmetic benefits, it also serves an important medical purpose: it works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. Once this communication is paused, sweat production in the targeted area is significantly reduced.

Most patients experience up to an 80% reduction in sweating within two weeks of treatment, with results lasting anywhere from 3 to 6 months depending on the individual.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

The most commonly treated and Health Canada-approved area is the underarms, though other areas such as the palms and soles of the feet can also be treated (off-label) depending on your concerns. We’ll work with you to determine the best treatment plan based on your needs and goals.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

The procedure is quick, taking about 10 minutes in total. To ensure your comfort, a topical anesthetic is applied beforehand. After treatment, we advise avoiding heat-inducing activities and exercise for 12 hours, and keeping the area clean. Most people return to their regular routine the same day.

Cost and Coverage

Many insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for hyperhidrosis treatment (see details here) At Skin Worthy, we also offer flexible financing programs to make this life-changing treatment more accessible.
