HYPERHIDROSIS

Botox doesn’t just help with wrinkles; it’s also FDA-approved to treat excessive underarm sweating.

It’s an effective treatment to help relieve the discomfort and often the embarrassment of excessive sweating (called hyperhidrosis.)

HOW DOES BOTOX STOT UNDERARM SWEATING?

People with hyperhidrosis sweat a lot, even when you are not hot. You may soak through your clothes or even have sweat dripping off of you. This may be because nerves that activate the sweat glands are overactive. Instead of only sending signals to cool you down when you feel warm, the nerves fire at random times or even all the time.

Botox uses a neurotoxin to block nerve signals to sweat glands. When a small amount is iniected into the area around your underarms, it helps stop your nerves from telling your sweat glands to produce sweat. Botox is safe when injected by an experienced professional into the correct areas of your armpit.

WHAT ARE BOTOX INJECTIONS FOR UNDERARMS LIKE?

Botox injections use a very tiny needle to place Botox just below your skin. The physician performing your injections will place them in very specific areas to stop sweating.

You’ll have multiple injections around your underarm to make sure all nerve signals are blocked.

The needle is very fine, so it should cause minimal discomfort. To keep you comfortable, your doctor may apply ice or numbing cream to vour armpits before starting injections.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Botox results aren’t instant. You should start experiencing less sweating within a few days and total dryness within two weeks. Your results may last for months, sometimes sometimes even a year.
