Excessive underarm sweating, also known as axillary hyperhidrosis, can be a distressing condition that affects your daily life and confidence. If you are seeking a solution to control excessive sweating, underarm toxin injections can offer effective relief. Here’s what you need to know about this innovative treatment:
How it works: Underarm toxin injections involve the use of botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox®, to temporarily block the signals that stimulate sweat production in the sweat glands. By targeting the specific areas of your underarms, the injections help to reduce sweating significantly.
The procedure: The treatment begins with a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional who specializes in aesthetic procedures. During the procedure: Your underarms will be cleansed to ensure proper hygiene. A numbing cream may be applied to minimize any discomfort. The healthcare professional will carefully administer the toxin injections using a fine needle, targeting the sweat glands in the underarm area. You can resume your daily activities immediately afterward.
