Do you sweat heavily in the armpits? Is excessive sweating in armpits causing bad body odor? Or want to get rid of embarrassing always-extending sweat stains in the armpits? Excessive sweating in the armpits, even when it is not very hot outside, is an indication that you may be suffering from a medical condition called axillary hyperhidrosis.
Sweating is an entirely natural process, necessary for your body to reduce heat and excrete water soluble toxins. But some people tend to sweat heavily in the armpits even when others around them are dry and chill. Such people have some problem with the part of central nervous system that controls the function of eccrine sweat glands, a neurological disorder called Hyperhidrosis. It is a fairly common condition with almost 3 percent of the world’s population fighting excessive sweating in one main area or a few specific areas of their bodies, according to the International Hyperhidrosis Society.
Armpits are one of the few areas that are most commonly affected by hyperhidrosis, courtesy a higher concentration of sweat glands there. Other parts of the body with higher concentration of sweat glands include palms of hands and foot soles. Some people also sweat more in groin area. But armpit sweating is the most common problem thus far, with over 70% of hyperhidrosis patients suffering from excessive sweating in the underarms.
If you are seeking a really effective treatment for armpit sweating, go get Botox injections in the underarms and say goodbye to sweating instantly. This injectable drug will instantly alleviate symptoms of armpit sweating and keep them from returning for up to 6 months.
Botox or Botulinum toxin is a naturally occurring neurotoxin, known more for its cosmetic applications, such as removing facial wrinkles, treating crow’s feet, tightening saggy cheeks and redefining the size and shape of lips. But it has got FDA’s approval to treat a number of non-cosmetic conditions as well, including Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating. Some other conditions that are successfully treated with Botox injections nowadays include overactive bladder, chronic migraines, cervical dystonia, focal dystonia and few other spastic eyelid disorders. But here we will focus on Botox in armpits only.
When used to reduce armpit sweating, Botox is injected directly into the underarms skin at 10 to 15 points, deep enough to reach the sweat glands underneath your dermis. Being a neurotoxin, Botulinum will work by temporarily blocking the transmission of nerve impulses that activate sweat glands. This treatment has been reported to reduce sweating by up to 80 percent. Effects of treatment can be seen within 3 to 4 days after first getting the injections and generally last for 6 to 8 months. However, this may vary from person to person, depending on the severity of problem, physical condition of the individual and the technique used.
Experience of the doctor also plays a vital role in determining the safety and effectiveness, as well as the longevity of results. So be very careful when choosing a doctor. Make sure you go for the one who is not only board-certified for administering Botox injections but also has at least 5-year experience of treating conditions similar to yours. Getting the injections from an inexperienced dermatologist or a nurse practitioner could cause potential side effects that could be fatal as well.
