NEW YORK, NY – A cleanser enriched with exotic Moroccan Lava clay lifts away surface dirt and debris, a refreshing toner clarifies the skin, and a silky-smooth moisturizer with light floral notes is applied to instantly hydrate the skin. A doctor enters and, after analyzing the newly-clean skin, makes a series of precise Botox injections. By the way, this is all taking place under the arms!
Manhattan aesthetician Shizuka Bernstein and plastic surgeon Robert Silich, M.D. have collaborated to create The Underarm Overhaul ($1500 at the Shizuka New York Day Spa - 7 W 51st St, 6th Fl), a comprehensive underarm treatment that deep cleans the underarms, removes unwanted hair, and significantly reduces sweat production for up to 6 months.
A celebrity red carpet secret for keeping dry under the bright lights, Botox was approved by the FDA for severe underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis) in 2004. While most people—celebs included—do not exhibit severe sweating, Botox injections in our NYC medical spa can help to reduce embarrassing sweaty “pit stains” during the warm summer months. This technique of Botox injection, also known as Intradermal Botox, targets sweat glands beneath the surface of the skin rather than facial expression muscles. Similar to traditional Botox Cosmetic, results last 4-6 months.
Prior to Botox injection, Shizuka New York's staff gives the underarms a “facial” using the Shizuka New York Skincare System, Shizuka's original line of products that use innovative natural ingredients including sake, whole plant mushroom extract, rice bran, pearl protein, hops, sage and water sourced from Mt. Fuji. After the facial comes a complimentary underarm waxing that clients may upgrade to an Intense Pulsed Light hair removal session for an additional $100.
The Underarm Overhaul brings this often-neglected area from the pits to the pedestal as the perfect treatment for those brutal Manhattan summers!
