Underarm Botox, also known as Botox for hyperhidrosis, is a highly effective treatment for excessive sweating. Here's a detailed look at this procedure and its benefits:

What is Underarm Botox?

Underarm Botox involves injecting botulinum toxin type A (Botox) into the underarm area to temporarily block the nerves that trigger sweat glands. This significantly reduces sweating in the treated areas.

Benefits of Underarm Botox

  1. Effective Sweat Reduction: Underarm Botox can reduce sweating by up to 87%, providing relief from excessive sweating.

  2. Improved Quality of Life: By managing excessive sweating, patients often experience increased confidence and comfort in social and professional situations.

  3. Non-Surgical: The procedure is minimally invasive, involving only a series of small injections.

  4. Quick Procedure: Treatment typically takes 30 minutes or less, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.

  5. Minimal Downtime: Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

The Procedure

  1. Consultation: During the initial consultation, discuss your symptoms and treatment goals with our qualified provider. We will assess your condition and determine if you are a suitable candidate for Botox.

  2. Preparation: On the day of the procedure, the underarm area is cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to reduce discomfort.

  3. Injection: Botox is injected into multiple sites within each underarm. The number of injections depends on the extent of the sweating area.

  4. Post-Treatment Care: Aftercare instructions are provided, which may include avoiding strenuous activity and not applying deodorant for a specified period.

What to Expect

  • Gradual Onset of Results: You can expect to see a reduction in sweating within a few days, with full results typically appearing within two weeks.

  • Duration of Effects: The effects of Botox for underarm sweating usually last between 4 to 6 months. Repeat treatments are necessary to maintain results.

  • Minimal Side Effects: Common side effects include mild pain or bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolve quickly
