How Botox & MiraDry Treat Excessive Sweating in Dubai

Sweating is a natural process that helps your body stay cool. However, when sweating becomes excessive or uncontrollable, even in air-conditioned settings or during calm moments, it may indicate a condition called hyperhidrosis.
People living with hyperhidrosis often describe daily challenges — constantly damp clothes, difficulty shaking hands, or anxiety in social or professional settings. At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai, we understand how frustrating and embarrassing excessive sweating can be, and we offer safe, clinically proven treatments to help you regain comfort and confidence.

Causes of Excessive Sweating

Hyperhidrosis can affect various parts of the body, most commonly the underarms, palms, soles, and face. It can be triggered by:

• Overactive sweat glands (primary hyperhidrosis)
• Medical conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, or hormonal imbalances (secondary hyperhidrosis)
• Stress or anxiety, which can worsen sweating episodes

Even though excessive sweating isn’t dangerous, it can have a significant emotional and social impact. The good news is that it’s highly treatable with modern dermatological solutions like Botox injections and MiraDry.

Botox for Excessive Sweating

Botox, widely known for its cosmetic uses, is also an FDA-approved medical treatment for hyperhidrosis. It works by blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands in targeted areas such as the underarms, hands, or feet.

Benefits of Botox Treatment:

• Noticeable reduction in sweating within a few days
• Results lasting 6 to 9 months on average
• Quick, non-surgical procedure with no downtime
• Safe for most skin types

What to Expect at DRHC Dubai:
The treatment involves tiny injections placed just under the skin. The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes and is performed in a comfortable clinical setting. Most patients describe only mild discomfort, and you can return to your daily routine immediately afterward.

MiraDry for Long-Term Sweat Reduction

For patients seeking a more permanent solution, MiraDry is an innovative treatment that uses controlled microwave energy to target and eliminate the sweat and odor glands in the underarm area.

How MiraDry Works:
The technology delivers gentle thermal energy beneath the skin, where sweat glands are located. These glands are safely destroyed and do not grow back — providing a lasting reduction in sweating and odor.

Benefits of MiraDry:

• Permanent reduction in underarm sweating and odor
• Immediate results after treatment
• Non-invasive and non-surgical
• Minimal downtime — most patients resume normal activities the same day

At DRHC Dubai, MiraDry is performed by qualified specialists who ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, using numbing techniques and personalized care plans tailored to your skin sensitivity and lifestyle.

Which Treatment Is Right for You?

Both Botox and MiraDry are effective, but the right choice depends on your individual needs:

• Botox is ideal if you prefer a quick, temporary solution for areas such as hands, feet, or the face.
• MiraDry is perfect for those who want a long-lasting solution for underarm sweating and odor without injections.

During your consultation at DRHC Dubai, our dermatology team will assess your condition, discuss your goals, and recommend the best treatment option for you.
