Novomed provides underarm Botox treatment in Dubai and Abu Dhabi to help manage excessive underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis). The treatment is performed by qualified medical professionals who assess your sweating pattern and determine whether Botox is appropriate.
What Is Underarm Botox?
Underarm Botox involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into the skin of the armpits. Botox temporarily blocks the nerve signals that stimulate the sweat glands, reducing sweat production in the treated area.
Who Needs Underarm Botox?
Underarm Botox may be suitable for adults with excessive underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis) that interferes with daily activities or does not improve adequately with topical antiperspirants.
It may be considered for people who:
- Sweat excessively from the underarms without a clear trigger.
- Experience sweating that affects work, social activities, or clothing choices.
- Have persistent underarm sweating despite using clinical-strength antiperspirants.
- Prefer a non-surgical treatment option.
- Have been evaluated by a doctor to rule out underlying medical causes of excessive sweating.
A medical consultation is recommended before treatment to confirm the cause of excessive sweating and determine whether Botox is appropriate.
Underarm Botox Procedure for Excessive Sweating
Underarm Botox is a minimally invasive treatment for excessive underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis). Before treatment, the doctor assesses your sweating pattern and determines the appropriate injection areas.
Procedure Steps
- Consultation: The doctor evaluates the severity and cause of excessive sweating.
- Treatment area preparation: The underarms are cleaned, and a topical or local anesthetic may be used for comfort.
- Injection mapping: The treatment area is divided into small sections to identify where Botox should be injected.
- Botox injections: Small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected just beneath the skin across the underarm area. Botox temporarily blocks the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands.
- Treatment time: The procedure is generally quick and performed in a medical clinic.
- Aftercare: Most patients can return to normal activities shortly after treatment. Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area and follow your doctor’s instructions.
- Results: Reduced sweating is usually noticeable within 7–10 days. Results can last several months, although the duration varies between patients.
The treatment should be performed by a qualified medical professional using an authorized botulinum toxin product.
