Armpit Sweat Reduction
NON-SURGICAL BTX ARMPIT HYPERHIDROSIS
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a medical condition characterized by abnormal sweating, which can occur even when it’s not hot. People with hyperhidrosis often experience excessive sweating that can lead to soaking through clothing or dripping sweat. Regular antiperspirants are typically ineffective in managing this condition.
BTX works by blocking the nerves responsible for activating sweat glands. In normal circumstances, the nervous system activates sweat glands to cool the body when the temperature rises. However, in individuals with hyperhidrosis, these nerves are overactive.
When BTX is injected into the area of excessive sweating, it essentially paralyzes the overactive nerves. As a result, the sweat glands do not receive signals to produce sweat, leading to a reduction in sweating in that specific area.
