Excessive underarm sweating

Excessive underarm sweating is a common complaint that both men and women experience and can affect between 1 and 3 in every 100 people. For most people this concern can be treated with an antiperspirant but for some, this is still not enough. This can sometimes lead to embarrassment, preventing someone from interacting in social activities which could in turn lead to anxiety and depression. This condition can be treated with anti wrinkle injections to the armpits (axilla) which can prevent perspiration in the areas for up to 6 months. This will be followed by a complimentary review 2 weeks post treatment to check efficacy. This may not always be required but will be decided by your clinician.
