UNDERARM HYPERHIDROSIS
The excessive sweating in the armpits, also called underarm hyperhidrosis, is a problem that can be caused from the discomfort of sweat running down the sides, to the embarrassment of obvious sweat stains, to the fear of being caught, uncontrollable underarm sweating can feel like it’s ruining the sufferer’s life.
But there are good news. There is a safe and excellent treatment for excessive underarm sweating. The treatment consists of applying a cosmetic medication to the skin of the armpits through small injections to treat the problem of excessive sweating.
This drug works by preventing the sweat glands from producing too much sweat. Treatment is usually necessary every four to six months as the nerves regenerate. However, over time, patients may go longer between treatments.
The injections are generally well tolerated by patients, and the treatment is very effective and fast. The procedure usually takes approximately 30 minutes. It is also a painless procedure, as an anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area prior to the injections.
Why use Hyperhidrosis treatment for underarm hyperhidrosis?
Treatment for underarm hyperhidrosis offers many benefits. Among the main ones are:
1
It is a fast-acting treatment
One of the main benefits of underarm hyperhidrosis treatment is that you will start to see results quickly once you have gone through the procedure. The usual time is two to seven days and the amount of sweating should reduce. In addition, the results are long-lasting.
2
It is a non-invasive procedure
Injections for the treatment of underarm hyperhidrosis are a non-invasive procedure that does not require any surgery. The drug is injected with a very fine needle into the sweat glands and paralyzes them, thus blocking the nerve signals. This means that you can continue with your daily routine after treatment and no recovery time is needed.
3
Helps restore self-confidence
Excessive sweating is the type of condition that can affect your mental health in public spaces. If you get stressed, the condition could worsen, causing your clothes to be soaked. However, with underarm hyperhidrosis treatment you can stop excessive sweating dry and not have to worry about it.
4

When thinking of excessive sweating, it is natural to assume that it might be limited to the armpits. However, this condition occurs in many areas of the body, and if it occurs in more than one location, it can be especially frustrating. The good news is that the treatment is versatile, addressing hyperhidrosis in the feet, hands, neck and other areas.

Results usually take one to two weeks to appear. Patients will experience dry underarms for about three to six months after receiving the injections. Patients should follow up with routine treatments if they want to maintain the effects in the armpits.

Rare and less common side effects are headaches, flu-like symptoms or muscle weakness in the body.
