Hyperhidrosis · Shimbashi & Ginza
Botulinum toxin into the underarm reduces how much the sweat glands produce, and the odour that comes with the sweat eases with it. About fifteen minutes, nothing cut, nothing burned. Male patients only.
Underarm botox for excessive sweating is ¥29,800 at Shinbashi Ginza Swift Clinic in Shimbashi, Tokyo. Botulinum toxin injected where you sweat slows the sweat glands, so both the sweat and the odour that goes with it are reduced. It normally takes effect within one to two weeks and lasts three to six months. A session takes about fifteen minutes; nothing is cut and nothing is burned. Treatment at a first visit is possible, and because this is self-pay there is no first-visit surcharge.

All treatment here is self-pay, so Japanese national health insurance does not apply. See the botox page for the other areas we treat, or the full price list.
Botulinum toxin injected into an area that sweats heavily slows the working of the sweat glands there, so less sweat is produced — and because the odour comes with the sweat, that eases too. It is normally done in the underarm, and the palms and the soles are the other common sites.
It normally takes effect within one to two weeks and lasts three to six months. Nothing has to be cut open and nothing is burned with a laser, so a session takes about fifteen minutes and you go back to your day afterwards.
Even if none of these apply, the doctor may decide not to treat depending on your history, your current medication and how you are on the day. Tell the doctor about everything you take, including anything bought over the counter.
You can be seen here without speaking Japanese. Consultations are handled with a translation app and written notes rather than by an English-speaking doctor, which works well for treatments where the decision is straightforward — repeat prescriptions, testing, hair removal — and is slower where you have a complicated history to explain. Treatment information, pricing and access details on these pages are in English. The booking system and the pre-visit questionnaire are in Japanese, so message us on LINE beforehand if you would like help completing them.

It normally takes effect within one to two weeks and lasts three to six months. How much it changes varies between people, and when to repeat it is set out by the doctor at the consultation.
The odour comes with the sweat, so reducing how much is produced eases it too. How much difference it makes varies between people.
Nothing is cut and nothing is burned with a laser — it is an injection, and a session takes about fifteen minutes. Tell the doctor if it is uncomfortable.
