Botulinum toxin is a natural, purified protein that can reduce perspiration by blocking the release of chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands.
A personal consultation with the doctor is required prior to the treatment. Multiple small doses of Botox® are administered into the skin of the armpits using very fine needles. The procedure takes approximately 20 minutes, is non-surgical, and does not require any anesthetic.
The effectiveness of the treatment varies between patients – however, the treatments usually last for approximately 6 – 7 months.
Discomfort is minimal and brief, and the effects of reduced sweating can be seen within a week after treatment. This treatment has minimal or no downtime – you can go about your daily activities right after the session.
