Armpit Botox
Underarm Botox is a treatment for people suffering from excessive underarm sweating. In this procedure, small doses of botulinum toxin type A are injected into the sweat glands in the armpit. Botulinum toxin temporarily stops sweat production by blocking signals from nerve endings to the sweat glands. This procedure significantly reduces the discomfort, social anxiety, bad odor, and sweat stains caused by excessive sweating. The treatment typically takes 20-30 minutes, and its effects last for approximately 6-12 months. The treatment can be repeated after this period.

How is Underarm Botox Performed?
Botox for excessive sweating temporarily freezes the nerves responsible for activating the sweat glands. Normally, the nervous system activates the sweat glands when body temperature rises. This way, your body automatically cools itself. However, in people with hyperhidrosis, the nerves that send signals to the sweat glands are overactive. When administered directly to the armpit, Botox injections paralyze and freeze the overactive nerves that cause sweating. This prevents the nerves from sending signals to the sweat glands, and you sweat less.
Who is Armpit Botox Suitable for?
Underarm Botox is suitable for adults with clinically diagnosed excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) who have not received satisfactory results from other treatments (antiperspirants, lifestyle changes). This
