Botulinum toxin against frown lines, forehead wrinkles, crow's feet... we all know these, but did you know that botulinum toxin can also be used in your armpits?
Despite good personal hygiene, some people suffer from excessive sweating. This is recognizable by a strong perspiration odor and stained or wet clothing. Of course, everyone experiences this from time to time, but what if you experience it daily? And what if you've already taken all the necessary precautions? Loose and airy clothing, invested in a good deodorant, washing and changing regularly, etc. Sometimes all this isn't enough. Botulinum toxin can offer a solution. By injecting botulinum toxin into the armpits, the nerve endings that control the sweat glands can be temporarily blocked. The transmission of impulses from the nerves to the muscles is also blocked. This significantly reduces sweat production, significantly reducing the discomfort.
During the treatment, the outer layer of the skin of the armpits is injected with a thin needle. The practitioner will inject between 10 and 15 needles per armpit. After the treatment, deodorant should not be used for two days. Results can be noticed after about one to two weeks. Sweating will then stop completely. This effect can last for about six months. With frequent repeat treatments, the effect will last longer. The reason sweat production resumes after about six months is due to the nerve endings that are blocked during the treatment. The body naturally ensures that new nerve endings grow to replace the blocked ones. These can, of course, also be injected during the next treatment.
The biggest advantage of the treatment is that you no longer have to worry about wet stains on your clothes or carrying around a strong sweat odor. The embarrassment some people felt about this disappears like snow in the sun. It's a real boost to self-confidence and makes life a little easier. No more doing laundry every day and wasting money on expensive deodorants that don't work. With botulinum toxin injections in the armpits, the problem is solved within two weeks and can last for several months. Another bonus: it doesn't just work for the armpits; botulinum toxin also works for excessive sweating in the hands, feet, and other parts of the body.
