Most people don’t give much thought to their arm pits – until they become an issue. Two common underarm problems are the uncontrollable growth of hair and excess sweating. Laser hair removal and Botox are simple, convenient solutions for getting a handle on these problems.

Laser Hair Removal
For the treatment of excess hair under the arms, laser hair removal is by far one of the most effective, painless solutions. The laser hair removal process works by using a laser beam to target a group of hair follicles. The laser passes beneath the skin to damage the root, leaving the skin unscathed. This process prevents the hair from growing back for the most part, although there is a recurrence of growth in some cases. However, the new hairs are finer in texture and lighter in color than the original ones. Laser hair removal treatments under the arm usually require three to four treatments.

Botox Injections
There’s nothing worse than unsightly sweat stains. It can be embarrassing, uncomfortable, anxiety-inducing, and even disabling. If you suffer from excessive armpit sweat, you are not alone. Hyperhidrosis, the condition of excess sweating, afflicts millions (approximately 3% of the population) around the world.

Botox injections have most recently been used to help people contend with excessive armpit sweat. Where deodorants and antiperspirants fail, Botox succeeds at fighting Hyperhidrosis. Botox is injected into the underarms or the palm of the hands, paralyzing the sweat glands and preventing perspiration.
