How Do Botox Injections Work to Control Sweating?

Normally your sweat glands are activated by the nervous system when the body temperature rises in order to cool itself. For people who over sweat or sweat easily, it is a signal that these sweat glands are over activated under the condition known as hyperhidrosis. Sweat glands are especially found on the palms, feet, and forehead but if sweat is over activated in the underarm area, it triggers bacteria formation and produces a foul odor.

Botox is most commonly known to treat wrinkles and to control tight muscles. However, when botox injections are inserted directly into the areas where the body commonly sweats, over activated nerves become essentially paralyzed. Therefore, since the nerves cannot signal sweat glands, these glands produce less sweat.

What are the effects of underarm botox?

After botulinum toxin is injected into the underarm area, the sweat glands become temporarily paralyzed and stop the production of sweat. As a result, you will be able to see the following effects:

improvements in over sweating
control of foul odor caused by sweating
immediate and prominent effects

Unlike other areas, underarm botox can cause pain upon injection. Therefore, numbing cream will be applied for at least 30 minutes before proceeding.

How Long Will It Take For Results to Show?

As underarm botox is a relatively simple, nonsurgical treatment, patients can go back to their normal activity immediate after. Patients can expect to see results gradually after one to two weeks.

When should I get underarm botox?

Although effects vary by person, since the usual period is between 3 to 4 months, it is best recommend to go under treatment during the summer season for maximum effects. Additionally, for people with hyperhidrosis, it is recommend to go under additional underarm botox every 3 to 4 months to be sweat-free in all weather.

Even though it is a simple treatment, if performed correctly by a skilled doctor, underarm botox can last longer with highly satisfying results. Additionally, patients should avoid hot environments or excessive exercises that may cause over sweating for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Other precautions include avoiding drinking, sweating, hot saunas, and excessive exercises.
