Cosmetic Anti-Sweating Treatment
What is Excessive Sweating?
​
Sweating is a normal process which the body uses to keep itself cool. Excessive sweating can occur when the sweat glands under are overactive and you produce enough sweat to feel self-conscious. If this is affecting your daily activities and you are finding antiperspirants or topical treatments are not working, you may be a suitable candidate for cosmetic anti-sweating injections.
​
What are Cosmetic Anti- Sweating injections?
​
Botulinum toxin (Botox) is injected superficially into the skin under the arms, by a series of micro-injections, it usually takes around 20-30 minutes and will help control the symptoms of underarm sweating. It works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate the eccrine (sweat) glands. If the gland does not receive a signal, no sweat will be produced, resulting in drier armpits. The treatment will only work on the specific areas of skin that have been injected and as it is not injected into the muscle there should be no muscle relaxing effect. You should notice a significant change in 4 weeks
​
What are the benefits of the cosmetic sweating treatment?
The benefit of this treatment is that it can reduce, and in many cases stop, sweat production in your armpits. This can improve confidence and social life, as you no longer have to worry about odour or unpleasant sweat marks on your clothes.
People even find that they can completely stop using deodorants whilst having this treatment, which can benefit particularly sensitive skin.
This treatment has temporary effects which should be noticeable in 4 weeks and last for around 6 months. The duration of the treatment will depend on individual metabolism, for long term reduction of sweating a treatment plan is required to maintain results.
