There are different treatments available on how to stop underarm perspiration. It is best to consult with your doctor when it comes to the best solutions for underarm problems.
The doctors can recommend the following treatments on how to stop underarm perspiration:
Botulinum toxin, or Botox, injections into the skin in very low doses can stop underarm sweating.
- This procedure is quite expensive as it is also used for beautification purposes.
- The pain coming from the injection is painful but tolerable and takes around 30–45 minutes to finish.
- Botox works on the nerves by deactivating the trigger of the sweat glands.
- One treatment which consists of 12 injections stops armpit sweating and is good for 2–8 months.
A sympathectomy is often a keyhole surgery to spiflicate the sympathetic nerves that produce sweat in underarms.
- This operation, under general anesthesia, uses a camera that is introduced in the chest and is laid underneath the underarms.
- This is an outpatient procedure if an only arm is done. An overnight confinement is recommended if both arms will undergo the operation.
Subcutaneous curettage and liposuction are treatments in removing the sweat glands from the dermis or the deep layer of the skin. Scarring and bruising could appear after undergoing the treatment.
Removal of some underarm skin surgically can be the last resort. Results can be spectacular, but will leave a scar behind that is why this procedure is rarely recommended nowadays. This is done by removing the sweat glands that secrete excessively.
