…is unbearable, embarrassing and immediately obvious to other people. It can be triggered by exercise, temperature extremes, alcohol, caffeine, smoking, stress and strong emotions. Tiny injections of botulinum toxin into the underarm area have a magical effect on the sweat glands. The nerves supplying these glands are blocked which prevents the formation of sweat. New nerve endings slowly grow to replace them which means that the effects of treatment last for up to 6 months but eventually will wear off.
Please remove your armpit hair before your visit. A numbing cream makes it as comfortable as possible and is applied for 30 minutes before the tiny injections are placed evenly in each armpit. A course of treatment takes about 45 minutes.
The effect will be noticeable within a few hours.
It really is a fabulous, minimally painful treatment which gives much needed relief.
