Underarm Botox in NYC

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 NYC Botox specialist 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 Botox treatment in NYC 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, underarm Botox was approved by the FDA for severe underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis) in 2004 after clinical studies showed that 91% of those injected with Botox under the arms showed a 50% reduction of sweat after treatment.† While most people—celebs included—do not exhibit severe sweating, our NYC Botox injections 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.

For those with non-severe sweaty underarms, NYC underarm Botox injections can make New York life a little more comfortable by reducing concerns and self-consciousness that can arise from underarm sweat. Intradermal Botox injections in the armpit area is also an effective alternative for men and women who are sensitive to antiperspirants and deodorants. Similar to traditional Botox, it may take 4-7 days to see full results. These results will vary between individuals, and generally last 4-6 months.

Prior to Botox injection, our NYC spa 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!
