Botox for underarm sweating, also known as axillary hyperhidrosis treatment, is a popular and effective solution for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in the underarm area. This treatment involves the use of botulinum toxin (Botox) to temporarily block the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, thereby reducing sweating.
How Botox for Underarm Sweating Works:
Injection: Botox is injected into the skin of the underarm area. The injections are made directly into the sweat glands using a fine needle.
Nerve Blockage: The botulinum toxin interferes with the nerve signals that trigger sweat production, effectively reducing the amount of sweat produced by the glands.
Temporary Effects: The effects of Botox treatment are not permanent, but they provide significant relief from excessive sweating.
Benefits of Botox for Underarm Sweating:
Reduces Sweating: Effective in significantly reducing or even stopping sweating in the underarm area.
Non-surgical: A minimally invasive procedure that does not require surgery or extensive downtime.
Quick Treatment: The procedure typically takes about 10-15 minutes.
Long-Lasting Results: Provides relief from excessive sweating for 6 to 12 months.
