Botox injections in the armpits

Botulinum Toxin Injections for the Underarms

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can significantly impair quality of life and affect both personal and professional life. Patients suffering from hyperhidrosis often experience psychological distress, impaired social interaction, and various skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis, dermatophytosis, and others.

Alongside other therapeutic methods, the botulinum toxin injection method has gained widespread recognition today, in which a botulinum toxin A preparation is administered to the underarms and other body areas affected by hyperhidrosis. Studies have demonstrated the high effectiveness and long-lasting effects of this procedure. Botulinum toxin preparations, when administered in small, controlled doses, pose no harm to health and have long been widely used in both aesthetic dermatology and general medicine.

At the Adoria Health and Beauty Center, botulinum toxin injections in the armpits are performed by Dr. Dace Beķere, a dermatologist and certified specialist in aesthetic dermatology. Injections can be administered in both the underarms and palms, and the first effects of the procedure appear within approximately 3–5 days.

In what cases are botulinum toxin injections in the underarms recommended?

• Injections in the underarm area should be considered in cases of excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, that cannot be controlled with topical antiperspirants or deodorants, and which significantly impacts quality of life, restricts professional or personal life, limits clothing choices, or causes other disproportionate difficulties.
• If you have an allergy to deodorants or antiperspirants and, when not using them, sweating has an undesirable impact on your daily life.
• If you have experienced undesirable side effects from using deodorants/antiperspirants, such as recurrent inflammation, syringomas, etc.
