Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Botox injections for axillary odor, although effective in alleviating the problem, may also have certain side effects. As this treatment involves an invasive procedure, it may leave tiny wounds at the injection site, causing local redness, swelling, or pain. Secondly, some patients may experience allergic reactions, manifested as skin itching or rashes. In addition, improper operation during the injection may lead to subcutaneous nodules or folliculitis. In severe cases, serious side effects such as anaphylactic shock or local infection may even occur. To minimize these side effects, it is recommended to choose a qualified physician for the injection and ensure the use of high-quality Botox products. Meanwhile, patients should also maintain proper hygiene and care for the local skin in daily life, avoiding the use of irritating cleansers or cosmetics. If adverse symptoms occur, timely medical attention should be sought and appropriate treatment followed as advised by a physician.
