Excessive sweating from under the arms can be embarrassing. No matter how often you wash or shower, nothing seems to help. In the past, surgeons tried all kinds of radical treatments for this condition, even going so far as the surgical removal of all the skin of the armpits to include the sweat glands, or cutting the nerves of the neck which stimulate the sweat glands.
Unfortunately, these treatments commonly resulted in very unpleasant side-effects, such as significant disfigurement or compensatory excess sweating at other sites, the face and groin area, for example. Today, there’s a safe, effective treatment which has very little risk of any significant side effects. This treatment uses muscle relaxing injections (Botulinum Toxin).
What are the benefits?
The treatment often becomes effective within several days, leading to a significant reduction in the amount of sweating.
The improvement can last around 3-6 months, or sometimes longer.
The treatment can be repeated as often as necessary.
