This is a safe and effective way of treating excessive sweating under the armpits. A muscle relaxing toxin can be administered into the hair follicle region of the arm pit. This targets the areas which stimulate sweat production. There are minimal adverse affects as the injections are very superficial and not near major vessels or other anatomy. The procedure is very effective in reducing perspiration for up to 6 months. Other areas of the body which excessively sweat can also be targeted and treated in the same way.
