Summer brings excessive sweating and, with it, body odour — in the office, the lift, a meeting, on public transport, at a wedding, even in the most romantic moments. The solution, however, is now very simple: underarm Botox can free us from this unpleasant situation within minutes.
Research suggests excessive sweating affects about 3% of the population — roughly 2.5 million people in Turkey. Beyond the physical issue are the psychological effects: experts say excessive sweating harms social and private life and can lead to a loss of self-confidence.
A simple, comfortable method
Botox is no longer only for looking better — it is also a technique that solves excessive sweating. We first identify the sweating areas under the arm with some tests, then apply Botox there. By temporarily blocking the nerve cells in that region, the treatment stops sweating. Underarm Botox eliminates both odour and the wetness that comes with excessive sweating, giving people a more comfortable life.
A 10-minute, painless application
Underarm Botox takes just 10 minutes and lasts about four months. Is it painful? No — an effective anaesthetic cream is applied 20 minutes beforehand, and with new-generation needles no pain is felt during the procedure. Compared with waxing, epilation or laser hair removal in the same area, there is essentially no pain.
Since summer arrived, the number of people having underarm Botox has risen sharply. Popular across all walks of life — and especially among office workers and those in service jobs such as restaurants and shops — it is applied in about half an hour in total, so many take care of it on their lunch break. Immediately afterwards a person can return to daily life, swim in the sea or pool, and use deodorant, often with a noticeable boost in motivation and concentration.
Is there any risk?
As long as the procedure is performed by a trained, experienced and professional practitioner using approved products, there is essentially no risk. In some sensitive skin, very rarely, mild redness and bruising may appear at the site. Underarm Botox does not cause permanent damage to the sweat glands; injected only into them, it simply resolves the sweating problem.
An end to the wedding-day nightmare
Summer is the most popular wedding season, but the heat and the stress make sweating a problem for brides and grooms alike. Beyond odour, visible wetness on clothing — immortalised in photos — can be a real nightmare. We recommend couples have underarm Botox at least 15 days beforehand, so they have one less thing to worry about on the day.
Other options for sweating
There are a few other methods, but Botox is the most successful. The aluminium-containing preparations once used under the arm were abandoned because aluminium is absorbed and harmful. Current "antiperspirant" products are mostly deodorant-effect only — they do not prevent sweating, only mask the bad odour from bacteria growing in the moisture; even then, only silver-containing ones offer 24-hour effect. A device that permanently destroys sweat glands with microwave energy has been developed, but at around 3,000 dollars per session many consider it an unnecessary expense.
