Botulinum toxin, also known as Botox, is a drug best known for its ability to smooth wrinkles.
But it is also extremely effective in reducing sweating under the armpits, on the palms of the hands, on the feet… Botox works by temporarily blocking the chemical signals that instruct the glands to produce sweat.
It does not affect touch or sensation in the underarm area.
The unpleasant smell of sweaty armpits is caused by bacteria that thrive in warm, moist places. So if you eliminate sweating, the smell will go away too. However, injecting Botox under the armpits doesn’t mean you have to give up using deodorant or antiperspirant completely. The aim of Botox injections is to reduce excessive sweating to a normal or slightly less than normal amount.
Sweating is necessary to cool the body.
So if you get Botox injections to stop sweating under your armpits, does it prevent your body from cooling down?
No, because each area of the body that sweats has only a fraction of your total sweat glands. Your armpits contain 2% of them.
Reducing sweating in small areas will not affect the body’s ability to cool. Another concern people have is that less sweating on one part of the body will lead to more sweating on other parts.
But this is not the case.
To effectively reduce sweating with Botox, you only need one office visit.
1. Pre-treatment consultation:
You will discuss your wishes and expectations with your doctor.
The doctor will answer all your questions in detail and provide you with information about the procedure itself and any risks.
This preliminary discussion is crucial for your understanding and safety throughout the procedure.
2. Preparing for the treatment:
There is no special preparation before the treatment, the area to be treated can be clean and free of cosmetic products.
3. Procedure:
The doctor applies an anaesthetic cream and marks the areas where the Botox will be injected.
The area is marked with small dots so that the whole area to be treated is evenly covered.
The doctor will use a fine needle to inject the Botox into the subcutaneous tissue at precise points on the skin.
4. Post-treatment instructions:
After the procedure, we recommend that you reduce physical activity in the first few hours as a precaution.
The effects of the drug do not appear immediately, but gradually develop over a few days after the procedure.
The final effect is seen after 10-14 days.

“I have suffered from chronic joint pain, especially in my knees, for several years. Traditional treatments such as physical therapy, painkillers and even corticosteroid injections have only provided temporary relief. Desperate for a more permanent solution, I started researching alternative treatments and came across mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) therapy. After consulting my doctor and doing extensive research, I decided to give it a try.
The treatment process was simple and professionally managed. The first consultation included a thorough assessment of my condition and detailed information on how MSC therapy works. The procedure itself was minimally invasive and surprisingly quick.
What surprised me most was the gradual but noticeable improvement in my condition. Within a few weeks I felt significant pain relief and increased mobility. Tasks that had become difficult or impossible, such as walking up stairs, lifting objects and even walking for long periods of time, became much easier. The stiffness and constant pain that had plagued me for years were greatly reduced. Three months after treatment, I can say with certainty that the improvement has been remarkable. The quality of my life has improved significantly.
I highly recommend MSC therapy to anyone who suffers from chronic joint pain. It has been a game changer for me, providing long term relief where other treatments have failed. The professionalism and care of the medical team (Crystal?) combined with the innovation of the treatment made for an exceptional experience. If you are considering this option, I would recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine whether MSC therapy could be the solution you have been looking for. “
“My name is Milena and I am happy to share my experience of stem cell therapy for Heberden’s and Bouchard’s osteoarthritis of the toes. For years I have been struggling with unbearable pain and swelling in most of my fingers, but especially in three of them, which has affected my daily life.
After extensive research and consultations, I was advised by rheumatologists that medicine has no cure for small joint diseases and that I can only relieve them with painkillers. So I decided to try stem cell therapy. In the procedure, stem cells were injected into each joint of the fingers of both hands. The procedure went smoothly and professionally, but also with not too much pain.
The results were great. I noticed a significant reduction in swelling and pain in a short time. Gradually, the mobility of my fingers improved to some extent, but most importantly, I no longer woke up at night in pain, I no longer had to take painkillers and I was able to do everyday tasks again, including gardening.
Stem cell therapy has made my life easier and, above all, it has eliminated the need to take painkillers, which in the long run also have side effects. I am immensely grateful for the advances in medical science that have made this possible and for the skilled professionals who have guided the treatment. If you suffer from osteoarthritis, I recommend that you opt for stem cell therapy.”
