Botulinum toxin A can help reduce excessive underarm sweating. This is known as axillary hyperhidrosis treatment.

 

When severe sweating gets in the way of your daily life, and antiperspirants are not working, you may be a suitable candidate for this treatment.

 

Botulinum toxin A is approved by the FDA and The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency to treat the symptoms of severe underarm sweating when medicines used on the skin do not work well enough.

 

Toxin is injected into the affected area to block the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands do not receive these signals, the severe sweating stops. The effects can last 3-9 months.
