Hyperhidrosis Treatment
in Delhi — Stop Excessive Sweating
Botulinum toxin injections, iontophoresis and medical-grade antiperspirants for underarm, palm and sole sweating — diagnosed and treated by MD dermatologists at Monaris, Defence Colony.
When Sweating Isn't Just the Delhi Heat
Occasional heavy sweating in Delhi's summers is normal. Hyperhidrosis is different — it's excessive sweating, usually of the underarms, palms or soles, that happens regardless of temperature or physical activity, often disrupting work, handshakes and daily confidence. It's a recognised medical condition with effective, well-studied treatments, not something patients need to just manage on their own.
Dr. Arihant Surana and Dr. Geetali Kharghoria assess the pattern and severity of sweating before recommending a treatment — because the right option depends on which areas are affected and how significantly it's impacting daily life.
Comparing Your Treatment Options
| Treatment | Best For | How Long It Lasts | Sessions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Botulinum Toxin Injections | Underarms, palms, soles — moderate to severe cases | 4 to 6 months | 1 session, repeated as needed |
| Iontophoresis | Palms and soles — mild to moderate cases | Requires ongoing maintenance sessions | Multiple sessions per week initially |
| Prescription Antiperspirants | Mild cases or as maintenance between procedures | Daily to alternate-day use | Ongoing |
| Oral Medication | Generalised or severe cases, under medical supervision | As prescribed | Ongoing, monitored |
Your dermatologist will recommend the right starting point at consultation, and can combine approaches — for example, Botox for underarms alongside a prescription antiperspirant for palms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most effective treatment for excessive sweating?+
Botulinum toxin injections are the most effective in-clinic treatment for underarm, palm and sole hyperhidrosis, typically reducing sweating by 80 to 90 percent for 4 to 6 months per session. Iontophoresis and prescription antiperspirants are used for milder cases or as maintenance between sessions.
How long does anti-sweat Botox treatment last?+
Results typically last 4 to 6 months, after which sweating gradually returns and a repeat session is needed to maintain the effect.
Does the treatment hurt?+
Botox injections for hyperhidrosis involve multiple small injections; most patients tolerate it well, and a topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand for comfort, particularly for palms and soles.
Is hyperhidrosis treatment covered by insurance in India?+
Coverage varies by insurer and policy. Hyperhidrosis is a recognised medical condition, so some policies may reimburse treatment with a doctor's diagnosis — check directly with your insurance provider.
