information
Like many people who suffer from this condition and have had a successful treatment, you’ll no longer need to take in extra clothes to work or to a special occasion, you can simply rest in the knowledge that you can simply stop sweating under your arms.
You won’t need deodorant and everything can change, you relax and enjoy wearing different outfits and not constantly attempt to hide the sweat patches. Treatment results can last up to 6.4 months according to the clinical papers.* We find this to be simlar for our clients, who return once to twice a year for treatments.

The medication stops the chemical in the nerve ending from being released to the muscle to communicate to it when to contract. As a result your sweat glands will not produce sweat for up to 6.4 months, or until your nerve endings return to full functioning order.
Side effects that we expect to occur as a result of having injections under the arm are tenderness, swelling, and some bruising.
There is the risk of infection as the area is moist and damp. And there is a very rare risk of affecting nearby muscles, causing them to weaken.
Your sweat doesn’t go anywhere or get backed up because the sweat simply is not produced in the areas treated with the drug. Remember, the rest of your body is free to produce moisture normally.
