Underarm sweating for many often feels like the body has gone into overdrive, producing more sweat than what is actually required to regulate the body temperature. Severity is based on the extent it interferes with your daily activities.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Sweat is a normal and healthy response. When your body heats up the glands release sweat in order to cool you down. Sometimes antiperspirants just aren't enough. If you have to change your clothes frequently, put absorbent material under clothes, avoid certain fabrics and clothing styles or throw clothes away due to staining, you may wish to explore treatments to help. Botox® treatments under the arm temporarily block the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands resulting in reduced sweating. Sweat will not be produced in the area treated however it will continue to be produced elsewhere in the body as normal. Botox® has been shown to reduce sweating by up to 87% in patients. Dryness typically lasts between 4 and 12 months depending upon the patient. 
Like with all Botox® injections, every patient requires a face-to-face consultation with our Independent Nurse prescriber before a treatment can take place (as per the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) guidelines).

FAQs

  • Does Botox® stop underarm odour?

    Sweat develops an odour when it comes into contact with bacteria on your skin. If you have a  successful treatment with Botox® to reduce/stop underarm sweating this will also result in a reduction in odour too. 

  • What can you not do after underarm Botox®?

    We advise you not to use deoderant or spray-tan for the first 24 hours following treatment. Cleanse gently with a mild/unfragranced soap for the first 72 hours. Avoid swimming for 24-48 hours and any high intensity exercise for 2-3 days. Treatments such as laser hair reduction or waxing should be avoided until 2 weeks after your review. Avoid hot baths and showers for at least 3 days and saunas, steam rooms and jacuzzis until 2 weeks after your review. 

  • How long does it take for underarm botox® to work?

    Underarm Botox® usually starts to take effect around 1-2 weeks after injection. The results are gradual and can take around 4 weeks to take full effect. A review will be completed around 4 weeks to assess the reduction in sweating using the starch test. 

  • How should I prepare for my underarm Botox®?

    On the day of your appointment, do not wear deoderant. 


    Special Occasion or Event?: Please consider the timing of your injecgions. To ensure your treatment has settled in time make sure your review is at least 2 weeks before the event.


    Holiday booked?: Let us know if you plan to fo on holiday in the next 4 weeks so we can plan timings. It is safe to fly after Botox® injections, but we recommend allowing settle time to get the most out of your treatment whilst abroad.
