Botox for Underarm Sweating

No longer is Botulinum toxin only popular for its aesthetic benefits in anti-aging. It now offers improved standards of living to clients by increasing their confidence and well-being. One of the uses for Botox in which this is most apparent is the treatment of Hyperhidrosis.

Hyperhidrosis, also referred to as excessive sweating, is a medical condition that affects about 2% of the population and is caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system. It usually affects the armpit, soles of the feet, palms, head, groin, back and face but the underarms are the most affected.

Some people who have Hyperhidrosis sweat so much as to soak through their clothes even in cool temperatures and in social settings in particular, this can give rise to significant anxiety and lack of confidence.

Botox for underarm excessive sweating has been proven to be very safe and highly efficacious, successfully reducing underarm sweating by about 85%. Botox for underarm sweating works by preventing the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine that stimulates the activation of sweat glands, thereby decreasing the amount of sweat secreted.

A trained medical practitioner injects small amounts of Botulinum toxin, using a very fine needle, into 10 to 15 sites about 1cm apart, spread out evenly in each underarm and the effects can last for up to 18 months.

BENEFITS OF TRAINING IN BOTOX FOR UNDERARM SWEATING

More than half of the people who suffer from Hyperhidrosis have underarm symptoms and Botox for underarm sweating is the only effective treatment currently known asides antiperspirants (which aren’t completely effective in some individuals).

Also, the NHS does not provide specific guidelines for its treatment and this represents a large niche that medical professionals trained in Hyperhidrosis treatment can take advantage of.

Not only is botox for underarm sweating quick and easy to administer but the practitioner also gets to enjoy fulfilment from highly increased patient satisfaction.
