Yes, completely safe. Your body has millions of sweat glands distributed across your skin. Blocking sweat production in the underarms—a relatively small area—doesn't affect your body's ability to regulate temperature. You'll continue sweating normally from untreated areas. This treatment has been FDA-approved for hyperhidrosis since 2004 and has an excellent safety record.

Results typically last 4-7 months, with some patients experiencing even longer benefits. Most patients return 2-3 times per year for maintenance. Many find that with regular treatment, the duration extends over time. We'll help you establish a maintenance schedule that keeps you consistently dry and confident.

Some minimal sweating may remain, which is actually beneficial for the skin. The goal is eliminating excessive, problematic sweating while maintaining normal skin function. Most patients describe the reduction as life-changing.
