If you've heard about armpit Botox injections to reduce sweat and odor and are wondering if you should try it, this article is for you. Read on to understand the procedure, learn about its benefits, and see if the results are worth it. We'll cover everything from the type of Korean Botox used to the cost and whether it can help you feel more confident and satisfied. Let's dive in together.
Armpits have a lot of sweat glands and are like a fold between the upper arm and the side of the body. This makes sweat stay and dry slowly, leading to moisture and bacteria that cause body odor.
People with this problem often have a hard time being around others. Excessive sweating and strong body odor can make them seem like they don't keep clean. The real cause might be overactive sweat glands in the armpits.
Fortunately, doctors have found that Botox can reduce the activity of these sweat glands. This is now a common method to solve this issue.
Botox, or Botulinum Toxin Type A, is a protein that temporarily blocks nerve signals. In this case, it stops the nerves from producing sweat in the armpit sweat glands.
Doctors inject the Botox in several spots around the armpit to cover all the sweat glands. This can reduce sweat and odor by up to 80%. It also makes the skin smoother and pores tighter.
Pre- and post-procedure care for armpit Botox
Botox is completely broken down by the body. To maintain the results, follow these tips after getting Botox:
Doctors usually use 100-150 units of Botox for armpits. Results start to show in 2-4 weeks and last about 3-4 months.
The armpit has many nerves, making it sensitive. You might feel a sharp sting during the injection. However, the medical staff will always apply a cold pack before injecting, or you can use a numbing cream if preferred.
Korean Botox is widely used for facial shaping, reducing muscle size, pain relief, and reducing sweat and odor.
