Underarm Botox

In people with excessive sweating problems, sweat glands overreact to stimuli such as temperature and excitement, producing more sweat than necessary. Unwanted appearance or odor may occur in these individuals, especially in the armpit area. Today, with botox treatment, it is possible to find a solution to underarm sweating in a very short time and prevent excessive sweating.

What is the botox treatment that is a solution to underarm sweating? How does it prevent excessive sweating?

If we briefly talk about sweat glands before answering the question, the answer will be better understood. Sweat glands are structures that prevent the body from overheating, so to speak, they are the body’s coolers. Every human has approximately two to four million sweat glands. Sweat glands are found all over the body, being denser on the soles of the feet, palms, face, and armpits. They produce an odorless, clear liquid. However, especially in areas where bacteria are denser, a bad odor emerges as a result of the liquid interacting with bacteria.

Botox substance (botulinum toxin) is a purified protein that temporarily blocks the secretion of the chemical the body sends to stimulate the sweat glands in the injected area. Botox injection can reduce or eliminate sweat for long periods at a time by blocking the chemical process that produces underarm sweat. Botox can also be used to treat excessive sweating of the hands, feet, head and face, and other relatively small body areas (such as under the breasts) besides the armpits. According to researches, when used to treat excessive underarm sweating, it provides an 82-87% reduction in sweating.

Is botox treatment, which is a solution to underarm sweating, safe?

Botox only reduces the sweating of the area where it is applied. Underarm sweat glands make up only 2 percent of the sweat glands in the body. Therefore, in order for the body to regulate its temperature, sweating continues in a healthy way from other areas. Botox is not harmful to the human body. It is injected just under the skin. It is a treatment that has been used all over the world for years in the treatment of sweating, proving its effect and reliability.

How is botox application performed?

Botox injection for underarm sweating can be done in the office. In experienced hands, the procedure to be performed on both armpits can be completed in less than 10 minutes. It does not require any restrictions on work or daily activities. The botox substance is injected in very small amounts just under the skin. Before the treatment, the area can be numbed with a local anesthetic. In this way, you do not feel pain during the injection. It is recommended to have a check-up within 1 to 2 weeks after the botox treatment. During the follow-up appointment, touch-ups are made to the sweating areas that might have been missed during the first round of injections, ensuring that you fully benefit from the treatment. Results begin to be noticed 2 to 4 days after the treatment. The full effect is seen within two weeks. Botox injections give good results in reducing sweating, but the injection technique requires skill. Therefore, it should be applied by physicians who know body anatomy.

Is botox done to reduce sweating permanent?

Botox application to the armpits is effective for up to one year. It is also stated in some publications that the effect can last up to 14 months. When its effect wears off, it can be applied again. Repeated treatment provides significant, long-lasting improvements in the symptoms and quality of life of patients with continuous excessive sweating.
