Underarm hyperhidrosis is a condition involving excessive sweating that can reduce comfort, interfere with work, and affect social interactions. An effective treatment is botulinum therapy, which provides quick results and noticeable improvement for many months.
Hyperhidrosis is a disorder characterised by excessive sweat production. The problem often affects the underarm area. This condition has a negative impact on the mental well-being, work performance and social interactions of those affected. There are many methods of treating underarm hyperhidrosis, among which botulinum toxin (a neuromodulator) therapy stands out. This method provides a rapid effect and significantly improves quality of life. Thanks to it, the problem can be eliminated for many months.
Sweating is a natural reaction of the body. It helps maintain proper body temperature and remove toxins. We all sweat, and this is promoted by, among other things:
However, if the amount of sweat produced is so great that it interferes with everyday functioning, we speak of hyperhidrosis. This disorder may be primary in nature (resulting from emotional factors and not related to another disease) or secondary (being the result of another condition or disorder).
Primary hyperhidrosis often affects the axillary area. The disorder is characterised by rapid dampness in the underarm area, sweat running down the body and soaking into clothing. As a result, unsightly stains and discolouration appear on the clothing of the affected person. It may also be accompanied by an unpleasant odour. The problem also leads to skin maceration and secondary infections in the affected area.
Axillary hyperhidrosis is also a cause of significant psychological discomfort. For many patients, it becomes a serious life problem. Studies have shown that it reduces self-confidence and may contribute to the onset of depression.
There are many types of treatment for underarm hyperhidrosis. These include topical, systemic, procedural and surgical methods. כיום, botulinum toxin injections are being used increasingly often for this indication, thanks to which the problem can be resolved for many months.
Neuromodulator therapy has an advantage over antiperspirants or specialist topical preparations, which only work temporarily, as well as over oral medications, which place a burden on the entire body. It is also less invasive than surgical methods, which are associated with a considerable risk of complications.
Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin produced by anaerobic bacteria of the species Clostridium botulinum. When injected into an area of intense sweat production, it blocks the nerve impulses that stimulate the sweat glands to work.
The neuromodulator is a preparation with confirmed safety and efficacy, used for many years in the treatment of excessive sweating. Before it began to be used by aesthetic medicine physicians, it was employed by ophthalmologists and neurologists. At Dr Parda Clinic in Warsaw, we also have extensive experience in its use.
Treatment of underarm hyperhidrosis with a neurotoxin involves multiple injections of the preparation using a fine needle. The procedure lasts 10–30 minutes. Beforehand, the treatment area is numbed with a cream. Botulinum toxin treatment is well tolerated by patients. After the procedure, small marks remain at the injection sites, but they disappear very quickly.
The result of treating underarm hyperhidrosis with botulinum toxin is usually very good. The procedure eliminates sweating for approximately 6–12 months, which brings significant relief to patients. One treatment is sufficient to achieve the effect. The duration of the results largely depends on the patient’s individual characteristics and lifestyle. The procedure needs to be repeated.
