Underarm Sweat Injections

Underarm sweat injections reduce excessive underarm sweating. Your doctor injects botulinum toxin, a purified protein, into the skin to block the nerve signal to the sweat glands.

Procedure

Your doctor reviews your medical history and marks the sweating area. A numbing cream goes on where needed. Your doctor then places a grid of small, shallow injections across each underarm. The session takes 20 to 30 minutes.

Recovery

Expect mild tenderness or small bruises for 1 to 2 days. Most people return to normal activity straight away. Skip deodorant, shaving, heat and intense exercise for 24 hours. Sweating reduces within 3 to 7 days, with the full effect at around 2 weeks.
