Botulinum toxin injection for axillary odor What is the principle of botulinum toxin injection for axillary odor? Botulinum toxin is very effective in inhibiting the secretion of the nerve conduction substance acetylcholine by nerve cells, so it can well inhibit the excitability of the sympathetic nerves that dominate the sweat glands and promote the secretion of sweat by sweat glands. Our human sweat gland secretion is also controlled by the sympathetic nerve through acetylcholine as a conductive medium. Many patients do not sweat when they are sleeping, resting, relaxing, and other times when the sympathetic nerves are not excited. When they exercise or are stressed (sympathetic excitement), they will sweat. Therefore, local injection of botulinum toxin in the armpit can achieve a good effect of stopping sweating, and the odor in the armpit will be removed because the bacteria will no longer decompose and produce odor when there is no sweating. Which armpit odor patients are suitable for Botox injection Patients with underdeveloped armpit odor who are younger than 18 years old, young and unmarried patients who do not want to leave scars, patients with armpit odor who sweat a lot, patients with armpit odor once they sweat, and patients with hyperhidrosis. How much does it cost (such as medical examination)? How long does it take to see results after the injection? How long can I stay odorless? How long is the interval between injections? The general effect will be seen in about 5-6 days after the general injection and can be maintained for 5 months to 6 months. In principle, injections should be done twice a year, but if you don’t sweat a lot in winter and don’t have a heavy odor, you can inject once a year in June and July in early summer to get through the hottest and most sweaty season. How long does the injection take? Do I have to go into the operating room? Do I need to avoid menstruation? The injection will take about 20 minutes and you will have to go to the outpatient surgery. Can I have the injection during my menstrual period? Can I have the injection on the same day I arrive in Shanghai after the appointment? Do I have to recover after the surgery (e.g., no exercise or bathing) so that no one can see it? You can have the procedure done the same day you arrive in Shanghai after your appointment. After the surgery, there is no impact on activities and life, just be careful not to touch water in the armpit for 6 hours after the injection. You can exercise and shower the day after surgery. The other people can’t see it at all. Botox injection: 1. Do I have to remove my armpit hair if I get the injection? 2. Do I need to be anesthetized? 3. Are there any side effects?
