Botox for underarm sweating
You might be a sufferer of Hyperhidrosis, in which case this treatment could change your life. But even if your level of sweating is "normal", have you ever spoilt an expensive outfit with underarm sweat or deodorant stains? Ever felt uncomfortable about your own body odour or wet patches on your clothes?
For those of you who are normal, sweating human beings, you will almost certainly relate to one of these scenarios.
The 15-minute treatment involves the application of 20-30 pin-prick injections of Botox into the underarm area. There are minimal side-effects and no recovery time. One treatment and your sweating will be significantly reduced for up to six months.
How does it work?
Small amounts of Botox are placed just under the skin of the armpit stopping the nerve signals that control the sweating process. The sweating starts to reduce 3-4 days after the treatment.
