When a problem that should remain hidden becomes bothersome, you can’t freely raise your arms: a thin shirt, an elegant dress… All are overshadowed by the worry “will my armpits sweat?” Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) damages both your comfort and self-confidence. Instead of surgical thoughts or constant roll-on anxiety, experience a brand new freshness with Armpit Sweating Botox (Axillary Botulinum Toxin A)! At our private clinic in Istanbul, this application offered through the collaboration of dermatology and aesthetic specialists provides sweating control lasting for weeks, elevating your quality of life to the peak.

What is Armpit Sweating Botox?

Armpit sweating botox is an FDA-approved medical aesthetic application. By targeted injection of Botulinum Toxin A into nerve endings of sweat glands in the armpit, the activity of eccrine sweat glands is temporarily stopped.
