Anti-Wrinkle Injection for Underarm Sweating: For Dry, Comfortable, Confident Days.

Tired of visible sweat stains, unpleasant odors, or constant outfit changes due to excessive sweating? Anti-wrinkle injection offers a safe and effective treatment for hyperhidrosis (excessive and unpredictable sweating), helping you stay dry and confident every day.

Known for its anti-wrinkle benefits, anti-wrinkle injection is also US FDA-approved for treating hyperhidrosis. It works by temporarily blocking the nerves that stimulate sweat glands, reducing sweat production in areas like the underarms, palms, and feet.

What is hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition where the body produces an excessive amount of sweat, even without heat, stress, or exercise. This is caused by overactive sweat glands, where the brain sends signals to produce more sweat, even when the body isn’t hot or doesn't require cooling.

It often occurs in specific areas, such as the:

  • Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
  • Hands (palmar hyperhidrosis)
  • Soles of the feet (plantar hyperhidrosis)
  • Face (craniofacial hyperhidrosis)

While this condition is not life-threatening, it can cause emotional and social distress. Fortunately, anti-wrinkle injection offers an effective treatment option, especially when traditional remedies like antiperspirants or medications fall short. It provides long-lasting relief by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that trigger excessive sweating.

How does it work for underarm sweating?

Anti-wrinkle injection works by blocking nerve signals that trigger sweat production in the body. It specifically targets the acetylcholine neurotransmitter, which is responsible for activating the sweat glands. When the neurotoxin is injected into affected areas, it prevents these signals from reaching the sweat glands, significantly reducing perspiration.

  • The toxin is injected directly into sweat glands.
  • It blocks nerve signals that cause sweat production.
  • By preventing these signals, anti-wrinkle injection helps stop excessive sweating.

It can be used to treat various areas of excessive sweating, providing relief and improving your quality of life. At Cutis, we use it for underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis) to manage sweating and prevent embarrassing sweat stains.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the anti-wrinkle injection we use is US FDA-approved for the treatment of hyperhidrosis. Just make sure to have the procedure administered by a trained, experienced professional.

Anti-wrinkle injection treatment for underarm sweating is generally well-tolerated and not considered painful. Most patients report mild discomfort, often described as a slight pinching or stinging sensation. The injections are administered using a fine needle, making the process quick and minimally invasive. To further reduce discomfort, a topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment. The entire procedure typically takes just a few minutes.

Results from anti-wrinkle injection for underarm sweating appear within 2 to 4 days, with full results becoming noticeable 1 to 2 weeks after the procedure. You'll likely notice a reduction in sweating that continues to develop over the following days.

For underarm sweating, results typically last 4 to 12 months, depending on the patient. Repeat treatments or follow-up injections after this period are recommended to maintain the effects.

While anti-wrinkle injection significantly reduces sweating, it may not completely eliminate body odor. This is because odor primarily comes from apocrine glands and bacteria that break down sweat. Your underarms may feel noticeably drier, but a mild odor can still persist. As a result, you may still need to use deodorant to manage body odor, even with minimal or no visible sweat.

Side effects are generally minimal and may include mild redness, swelling, or discomfort at the injection site. These symptoms are temporary and resolve on their own.

The treatment is best suited for individuals who meet certain criteria. You may be a good candidate if you:

  1. Are 18 years or older
  2. Have tried other treatments or methods, such as prescription antiperspirants or sweat-resistant clothing
  3. Experience persistent underarm sweating that affects your daily life
However, anti-wrinkle injection may not be suitable if you:
  1. Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  2. Have a neuromuscular disorder such as ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome
  3. Are allergic to any ingredients in anti-wrinkle injection
  4. Have a skin infection or irritation at the injection site
If you're unsure whether anti-wrinkle injection is right for you, a consultation with a qualified medical provider can help determine the right treatment plan based on your specific needs and medical history.
