Underarm Perspiration
Underarm Perspiration
Our clinic can provide consultations on reducing Underarm Perspiration.
Treating underarm perspiration has become an effective solution for those who struggle with underarm sweating. This approach involves using products that temporarily inhibits the signals from the nerves that stimulate sweat glands, reducing perspiration in the treated area. Using treatments to manage underarm perspiration offers a significant reduction in sweating, leading to improved quality of life. With minimal downtime and long-lasting results, it is a popular choice for individuals seeking relief from excessive underarm sweating.
- Mechanism of Action:
The treatment works by targeting the sweat glands directly. The product blocks the chemical signals from the nerves that activate the sweat glands. As a result, the glands produce much less sweat, providing relief from excessive perspiration. This effect is localised, meaning it only affects the area where the injections are administered, leaving other sweat glands in the body to function normally.
- Treatment Process:
The procedure is relatively quick and minimally invasive. The product is administered to the underarm area under the skin, typically taking around 10 to 15 minutes. Patients may experience slight discomfort during the injections, but this is usually well-tolerated. A topical numbing cream can be applied prior to the procedure or patients can apply their own topical numbing cream 30-60min in before the procedure. The results of the treatment become noticeable within a few days but the full effects developing over the course of two to three weeks.
- Benefits:
One of the primary benefits of this treatment is the significant reduction in underarm sweating, which can lead to improved comfort and confidence. Many individuals find they no longer need to use antiperspirants frequently or worry about sweat stains on their clothing. Additionally, the treatment can have a positive impact on personal hygiene and reduce the risk of body odour associated with excessive sweating.
- Safety and Side Effects:
The safety profile of this muscle relaxant injection is well-established, with most side effects being mild and temporary. Common side effects include localised pain or bruising at the injection sites. In some cases, patients may experience slight weakness in the masseter muscle, which can affect chewing temporarily. Serious side effects are rare, but it is important to discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider before undergoing treatment.
- Duration of Effect:
The reduction in sweating typically lasts for several months, with some people experiencing relief for 3 to 6 months before needing another treatment. Over time, some patients may find that they require treatments less frequently as the sweat glands produce less sweat overall.
- Patient Suitability:
This treatment can be effective for individuals who have not found relief from other underarm treatments. It is suitable for patients who experience excessive underarm sweating. A thorough evaluation by one of our healthcare professionals is necessary to determine if this treatment is an appropriate option based on the individual’s specific condition and medical history. The provider will assess your medical history and the severity of your sweating to determine if this approach is suitable for you.
