Toronto Perspiration Treatment

Perspiration Problems (underarms) Treatment

Dr. Shia Wolgelernter, M.D. specializes underarm Toronto Perspiration Treatment involving solutions such as Botox which causes muscle paralysis.

Botox is FDA-approved for treating excessive sweating of the underarms, but some doctors may also use it on the palms of the hands to help individuals enjoy a stress-free social life by reducing perspiration.

Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It causes muscle paralysis.

What can Botox be used for?

Botox was originally introduced for the safe and effective treatment of muscle spasms. Botox blocks impulses from the nerve endings. This relates muscles and sweat gland production.

How is Botox administered?

Tiny quantities of Botox are injected directly into the underarms. The injection is almost painless.

The effect lasts approximately 6 to 9 months. Treatment for perspiration problems can be repeated as required at our Toronto clinic.
