Botox is the most effective and revolutionary treatment for underarm excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
Excessive sweating in the armpits is an annoying situation, which makes people feel uncomfortable and can affect a person’s personal life.
Apart from its use in cosmetic medicine, Botox has been used for years as a treatment of hyperidrosis, as it temporarily “deactivates” the sweat glands.
Initially, local anesthesia is performed using an anesthetic cream and then the treatment continues with the marking of the injection sites. The treatment is performed with intradermal injections on the entire surface of the specific area. The average total dose of botulinum toxin type A required for hyperidrosis is slightly higher than for facial use.
Botox is an ideal option to eliminate excessive sweat with long-lasting results. The first results are noticeable approximately on the 5th day; however, the full effects of dryness are noted two weeks later. They last for about 6 months, while treatment can be repeated whenever necessary.
