What is Underarm Botox?
Underarm Botox involves injecting a specialized medication to reduce excessive sweating in the underarms. Compared to other treatments for hyperhidrosis or body odor, it is a minimally invasive and increasingly popular option in recent years.
What is Axillary Hyperhidrosis?
Axillary hyperhidrosis is a condition where the sweat glands in the underarms produce an excessive amount of sweat beyond what is necessary for body temperature regulation. This can interfere with daily life and cause significant discomfort.
To diagnose primary axillary hyperhidrosis, the following criteria are considered:
- Persistent excessive underarm sweating for over six months without an identifiable cause.
- Meeting at least two of these six conditions:
- Symmetrical sweating in both underarms.
- Excessive sweating impacts daily activities.
- Sweating occurs at least once a week.
- Symptoms began before the age of 25.
- A family history of similar symptoms.
- Minimal sweating during sleep.
This condition can severely affect patients’ daily lives, leading to:
- Avoidance of certain clothes due to noticeable sweat stains.
- Changing shirts multiple times a day.
- Anxiety in public settings or social interactions.
- Reduced confidence in personal and professional relationships.
- Difficulty focusing on work or studies.
Effects :
Botox® is a purified protein derived from Clostridium botulinum. It works by blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, reducing the production of sweat. When injected directly into the underarm skin, Botox not only suppresses sweat gland activity but also has a muscle-relaxing effect.
Benefits :
- Rapid Results: Sweat reduction typically begins within 2–3 days.
- Long-Lasting Effects: Results can last 4–9 months, varying by individual.
- Repetition for Maintenance: To maintain the effect, treatments are recommended at intervals of 4 months or more.
For individuals experiencing severe underarm sweating that significantly impacts their daily life, Botox is a highly effective treatment option.
Downtime and Pain :
- Minimal Downtime: There is virtually no downtime. You can resume daily activities, including showering or bathing, on the same day as the procedure.
- Pain Levels: Some discomfort may occur during injections or as the medication enters the body.
- Pain sensitivity varies by individual. Since multiple injections are required, some patients may find the procedure uncomfortable.
- To alleviate pain, clinics often cool the area or use various anesthetics. If you’re concerned about pain, discuss available options with your provider before the procedure.
After the treatment, slight swelling may occur at the injection site but typically subsides within 2–3 hours.
Underarm Botox offers an effective and convenient solution for those seeking relief from excessive sweating. If underarm hyperhidrosis is impacting your quality of life, consult a trusted clinic to explore this treatment option!
Are There Any Side Effects?
After the treatment, minor side effects like redness or swelling may occur. These symptoms usually subside naturally within a few hours to days and do not significantly interfere with daily life. However, for those with sensitive skin, these effects may last longer, so it’s important to follow pre- and post-treatment care guidelines.
