Muscle Relaxing Injections to Stop Sweaty Armpits at Harley Street Skin Clinic Claire had Botox in her armpits to stop sweat marks on her clothes. She said, when a friend told me about Botox under the arms I laughed, but I tried it and loved it. The Harley Street Skin Clinic, run by anti-ageing expert Lesley Reynolds, treated 3000 patients last month and had seen a 34 per cent raise in people having the same the procedure as Claire. Muscle Relaxing Injections is a revolutionary treatment for people with hyperhidrosis or profuse sweating. A type of Botulinum toxin is used to stop the glands producing sweat and is a powerful protein that can be used safely in small doses. To reduce severe sweating, usually about 16-20 injections of botulinum toxin are administered using a very fine needle into the armpits, hands or feet. It can also improve the appearance of stretch marks and scarring on your abdomen.
Treatment Duration: The treatment takes about 45 minutes. Botulinum toxin works by blocking the signals from the brain to the sweat glands, this then reduces the amount of sweat that is produced.
The Cost: Treating both armpits costs ÂŁ499.
