It’s no sweat. Dr Hazel has the answer
Underarm sweating is a common condition which can be treated with Botulinum Toxin type A
Underarm sweating has the potential to cause a significant impact on your quality of life. Sweaty armpits are embarrassing at the least and can increase anxiety and stress.
The premier treatment for excessive underarm sweating is Botulinum toxin type A. An injection of Botox into the axilla (armpit) blocks the nerves that supply the eccrine glands, preventing them from producing sweat. The underarms are targeted and treated to provide the sufferer relief within a few days.
It is very safe, quick, long-lasting, and dramatically changes the daily lives of sufferers.

A comprehensive consultation will take place before treatment, including photographs, full medical history and consent for treatment. Desires and expectations will be discussed.
Skin will be cleaned before treatment, and the area to be treated will be marked with a white pencil. Small injections will be made into the axilla.
