Treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis

Annual injection of TB into the axillary region drastically reduces excessive axillary sweating.

How does the session work?

The patient must shave the area to be injected 36 hours before the session. An anaesthetic cream is applied 1 hour before the session, under a cling film, to improve patient comfort during the injections. The TB injection session lasts 40 minutes.

When are results observable?

The effect of TB appears progressively within 2 to 15 days and lasts for 6 to 10 months, after which it must be repeated to maintain results.

What are the possible side effects of TB injections in the armpits?

Edema, redness or small haematomas may occur (but disappear rapidly). Skin dryness may occur, or insufficient results (very rare).

What are the contraindications to TB injections?

Contraindications to the use of TB are: neuromuscular diseases (e.g. myasthenia), allergy to TB, active infection/inflammation in the area to be treated, pregnancy and breast-feeding.

How much do axillary TB injections cost?

Cost for 2 armpits: 490 euros excluding VAT or 593 euros including 21% VAT.
