Underarm Injectables For Sweaty Pits

Underarm injectables are our new saving grace. In fact, nothing can be more damaging to a woman’s self-image than soggy wet armpits. Picture a woman wearing the most gorgeous blouse in summer, only to lift up her arms and reveal a rather ‘swamp-ish’ armpit. This body function is necessary for our body as it maintains core body temperature. It is our body’s natural means of cooling down.

Underarm Injectables – What You Need to Know

The human body has 4 million sweat glands distributed throughout all areas of the skin. The highest concentrations are found on the palms, soles, axillae (underarms), and face.

Why Do We Sweat?

Sweating has both thermo-regulatory and emotional variantsDaily perspiration is generally fairly odourless. Alternatively, the odour is controllable thanks to perspiration and underarm sprays/rolls on or sticks. Stress perspiration is very different. This has an almost yellowish colour which can, in fact, stain your clothing.  It is rather pungent in odour and is usually released when a person is going through a particularly stressful and/or hormonal time.

It is also evident in fight or flight situations. Axillary Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition which involves excessive sweating, more than what is normal and/or required by the body. Axillary Hyperhidrosis is caused by the overactivity of the sweat glands. It is present in only 1 % of the population. Studies revealed that within this 1% a family history is present in 30 to 50 % of patients, suggesting a genetic component.

Underarm Injectables – The solution is Botox® underarm:

Botox® underarm is a treatment given by microinjection into the skin, a procedure that takes approximately 20 minutes to perform. This is a procedure where small doses are given into the skin. Botox® blocks the actions of the nerve that supplies the eccrine glands; as a result, it prevents the glands from producing sweat. The effects of the treatment usually last for several months. However, it will eventually wear off, meaning that you will need to have treatment once again. Certain criteria will help you determine whether you do indeed have Axillary Hyperhidrosis.

It is important to choose a treatment centre wisely. Experience is important, as is ensuring that it is a medical doctor administering your treatment.
