Botoks In Armpits

WHAT IS AN ARMPIT BOTOKS INJECTION?

 

Botoks is a type of toxin. It is a protein substance secreted by a bacterium called Clostridium Botulinum Toxin. When injected under the skin, Botoks secretes a chemical substance that causes the skin and muscles on the injection site to tighten. There are many areas and reasons to get Botoks other than treating wrinkles.

Excessive underarm sweating can have a significant influence on the quality of life. People with medical conditions like hormonal disorders or overly active sweat glands may experience excessive sweating. There are a couple of techniques to treat excessive sweating, but the simplest is Botoks injections.

Botoks injection proves its significant efficacy in getting rid of excessive sweating by injecting Botoks into the armpit area or other body areas with excessive sweating, such as the palms, feet, or face. Botoks weakens the overactive sweat glands. This muscle weakness reduces the sweating in the area by up to 87%.

The explanation behind how Botoks can reduce sweating is that it affects the impulses of the nerves that are responsible for sweat and weakens them to stop the secretion of excess sweat. The application is FDA approved and has very low potential side effects.
