Hyperhidrosis Treatment in Coquitlam
Smile Well Medical & Spa offers Botox-based hyperhidrosis treatment in Coquitlam — a clinically proven, minimally invasive solution for excessive sweating in the underarms, hands, feet, and face. Fast results. No surgery. Lasting relief that lets you get back to living confidently.
What is Hyperhidrosis Treatment?
Sweating is a natural and necessary bodily function, but when it becomes excessive — occurring beyond what temperature or physical activity would normally trigger — it can significantly affect your comfort, confidence, and daily quality of life. This condition, known as hyperhidrosis, is far more common than many people realize, and it is highly treatable without surgery.
At Smile Well Medical & Spa in Coquitlam, we use Botox injections to address hyperhidrosis by temporarily blocking the nerve signals responsible for activating the sweat glands in the targeted area. The result is a meaningful and lasting reduction in sweat production that typically begins within ten to fourteen days and continues for four to six months following treatment. The procedure is minimally invasive, requires no downtime, and is well tolerated by the vast majority of patients — making it one of the most effective and practical options available for those who have not found sufficient relief through antiperspirants or other conventional approaches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is hyperhidrosis and how does Botox treat it?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond what the body requires for temperature regulation. Botox treats it by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that tell the sweat glands to activate. When injected into the affected area at Smile Well Medical & Spa in Coquitlam, Botox effectively deactivates the overactive glands, significantly reducing sweat production in that area for several months.
Is the hyperhidrosis treatment painful?
Most patients describe the discomfort as minimal. The injections are administered using fine needles and the session is brief. Our providers at Smile Well Medical & Spa take every measure to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure.
How long will results last?
Results from Botox hyperhidrosis treatment typically last between four and six months. Because every patient's body responds differently, the duration may vary slightly from person to person. Repeat treatments can be scheduled as needed to maintain consistent relief.
When will I see results?
Sweating in the treated area will begin to decrease gradually within ten to fourteen days following your appointment. Most patients notice significant improvement within a few weeks, with full results visible by the six-week mark.
How many appointments will I need?
Most patients require three appointments — an initial consultation, the treatment session itself, and a follow-up visit at six weeks to assess results and confirm that the treatment has performed as expected.
What areas can be treated for hyperhidrosis?
Botox hyperhidrosis treatment at Smile Well Medical & Spa in Coquitlam can be applied to the underarms, palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and the face. The underarms are the most commonly treated area. Your provider will confirm the most appropriate areas for your specific needs during your consultation.
Can hyperhidrosis treatment be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Because hyperhidrosis treatment uses the same injection technique as cosmetic Botox, many patients choose to combine both in a single appointment for efficiency. Your provider at Smile Well Medical & Spa will confirm that combining treatments is safe and appropriate for your individual plan.
What are the risks associated with hyperhidrosis treatment?
Botox hyperhidrosis treatment is generally safe and well tolerated. Possible side effects include temporary redness, swelling, or mild bruising at the injection sites. In rare cases, patients may experience temporary muscle weakness near the treated area, or mild flu-like symptoms. As with any injection-based procedure, there is a very small risk of infection or allergic reaction. Your provider will review all potential risks with you during your consultation at Smile Well Medical & Spa in Coquitlam.
Who is a good candidate for hyperhidrosis treatment?
Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing excessive sweating in specific areas that significantly impacts their daily comfort and confidence — particularly those who have not found adequate relief from prescription-strength antiperspirants or other conventional treatments. A consultation at Smile Well Medical & Spa will confirm your suitability and ensure the treatment plan is tailored to your specific situation.
