Hyperhidrosis Treatment in Stone Oak, San Antonio
Excessive underarm sweating, treated with the same neuromodulator used for fine lines — placed to quiet the sweat glands instead of the muscles.
A medical problem, not a cosmetic one
Primary focal hyperhidrosis affects a meaningful share of adults and has nothing to do with hygiene, fitness, or anxiety. It is a nervous system signalling issue, and in a San Antonio summer it is genuinely disabling for some people.
This is the treatment on our menu that most often changes someone's daily life rather than their appearance.
How the treatment works
A grid of very small injections just under the skin blocks the nerve signal that triggers the sweat glands in the treated area. The glands are not removed or damaged — they simply stop receiving the instruction to activate.
Sweating continues normally everywhere else. Your body does not compensate by sweating more elsewhere, which is the most common worry we hear.

Cost
Hyperhidrosis is a recognised medical diagnosis rather than a cosmetic concern, and treating it is a medical decision. We are a cash-pay practice and do not bill insurance.
Pricing depends on the area treated and how much product it takes, and is quoted at your consultation before anything is scheduled.
Because hyperhidrosis is a medical rather than cosmetic condition, treatment generally qualifies as an eligible medical expense and an FSA or HSA card can usually be used.
What to expect
The area is numbed, then treated in a grid pattern. It takes about thirty minutes and you return to normal activity immediately. Effect begins within a week and is complete around two.
Most people repeat twice a year, often timed so coverage runs through summer.
Where we treat
Hyperhidrosis treatment, answered plainly.
Will I just sweat somewhere else instead?
No. Compensatory sweating is associated with surgical nerve procedures, not with injectable treatment. Sweating elsewhere continues at its normal rate.
How long before it works?
You will notice a change within about a week, with full effect at two weeks.
Is it safe to stop sweating in that area?
Yes. Underarms contribute a very small share of your body's total heat regulation, and the rest of your skin compensates without difficulty.
Does it hurt?
The underarm grid involves many small injections, but they are shallow and the area is numbed first. Most people find it very manageable.
How often will I need it?
Every four to six months. Many patients treat twice a year, timed to cover the Texas summer.
