If you’ve ever felt like no amount of antiperspirant can keep your underarms dry—or if you’ve had to change shirts midday because of sweat stains—you’re not alone. Millions of people struggle with excessive underarm sweating, a condition known as primary axillary hyperhidrosis.
At Privvy Modern Health, we believe you shouldn’t have to live with the discomfort and embarrassment of constant sweating. That’s why we’re proud to introduce our Don’t Sweat It campaign, highlighting how BOTOX® can offer real, lasting relief.
What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating beyond what’s needed to regulate body temperature. For many, it affects the underarms, making everyday activities like raising your arms or wearing light-colored clothing a challenge. When over-the-counter antiperspirants fail, it’s time to consider medical options like BOTOX®.
How BOTOX® Works to Stop Excessive Sweating
BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is FDA-approved to treat severe underarm sweating in adults 18 and older when topical treatments aren’t effective. It works by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from nerves that stimulate sweat glands. When these signals are interrupted, the sweat glands reduce their activity, leading to significantly less sweating.
What to Expect During Treatment
The procedure is straightforward and typically performed in a medical office. Your healthcare provider will administer 10 to 15 small injections into each underarm using a fine needle. Most patients notice a significant reduction in sweating within four weeks of their first treatment.
How Long Do the Effects Last?
One of the standout benefits of BOTOX® treatment for hyperhidrosis is its longevity. In clinical studies, patients experienced drier underarms for up to 1 year! Individual results may vary, but many find that a single treatment provides months of relief.
Is BOTOX® Right for You?
If you’ve tried clinical-strength antiperspirants without success and your underarm sweating interferes with daily activities, BOTOX® may be a suitable option. It’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for your needs.
