Underarm care
Underarm darkening and sweating
These are different concerns and need different assessments.
Darkening is a symptom, not a diagnosis
Friction, irritation and other conditions can affect underarm colour. Thickened, velvety dark skin can warrant a check for underlying health concerns. Assessment comes before a brightening procedure.
Sweating has its own treatment pathway
Excessive sweating may be a primary condition or related to medication or another medical issue. Tell the clinician when it started, whether it occurs elsewhere and how it affects daily life.
Discuss the right option
Skin Doctors offers PicoSure Pro for selected underarm pigment concerns, and Botox or CFU e-Life for assessed sweating concerns. Suitability and expected benefit differ. Focused ultrasound should not be presented as guaranteed permanent sweat elimination.
