Botulinum toxin treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis is an effective, risk-free procedure that our specialists use not only for the underarms but also for other areas of excessive sweating, such as the soles, palms or the craniofacial area.
Botox is injected in very small doses into the upper layer of the underarm skin, blocking the signal that nerve endings send to the sweat glands and so stopping sweating.
The injections are given by a dermatocosmetologist with a very fine needle. The treatment itself takes only a few minutes and needs no anesthesia, but if you are very sensitive, the specialist can apply an anesthetic cream to minimize the pain of the pricks. Intense exercise and saunas are not allowed right after the treatment.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
- Allergy to botulinum toxin
- Local skin infection in the treated area
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or myasthenia gravis
- Any severe illness or infection
Results appear 2-4 days after the treatment, but the full effect develops within 2 weeks and lasts 4 to 12 months, depending on the body.
For a safe result and optimal effect, Botox injections require precision and in-depth knowledge of human anatomy.
*Results may vary depending on each patient's individual characteristics and lifestyle.
