No more maps in the armpits: removing sweating with botulinum toxin

Botulinum toxin, known primarily as a wrinkle reducer or treatment for migraines or bruxism, is also proving to be an effective solution to excessive sweating. Especially in the summer months, it is one of the most popular treatments. Within minutes, say goodbye to unaesthetic maps in your underarms. The procedure is appreciated not only by women, but also by male clients in large numbers. For example, the reality show Survivor contestant Matty Quitt underwent it.

"I've been struggling with sweating since I was a teenager, which is quite some time ago. After Survivor ended, I got invited to several social events a week and the sweating became uncomfortable for me. So on the recommendation of my doctor, I had Botox injected into my underarms at the MEDICOM Clinic. I was surprised at how quickly the effects came about. I'm looking forward to being able to wear light-coloured T-shirts without worrying about armpit maps appearing in photos," says the influencer.

This method effectively reduces sweat production by blocking the activity of the sweat glands. The other sweat glands continue to ensure normal thermoregulation of the body. The application of botulinum toxin for sweating is a safe and relatively quick outpatient procedure. The substance is injected into problem areas such as the armpits, palms or soles of the feet. The treatment itself is almost painless and takes approximately 10-15 minutes. It is also popular with the model Vlaďka Erbová.

"A few days ago, I had my second Botox treatment on my armpits at MEDICOM Clinic after 8 months. It is literally a small miracle for me. After 6 long years, when part of my thyroid gland was removed, I feel comfortable not only in black. The surgery caused me to sweat excessively. And not only us women, but men don't exactly welcome that. I would recommend the treatment to anyone who struggles with thermoregulation like I do. It's more effective than the strongest antiperspirant and you're over the problem in minutes, " the model mentions.

The effects usually appear within a few days and last up to six months or more. After that, the treatment can be repeated. Temporary minor swelling, tenderness, redness or bruising may occur after botulinum toxin application. However, there is no need to worry, the symptoms will resolve themselves within a few days. The only limitations that the treatment entails are to avoid sauna, sunbathing or intense sports for 2 to 4 days.
