Underarm Wetness  How to apply ODABAN® Spray to the underarms

Treatment with ODABAN® antiperspirant is straightforward and usually completely effective. The product should be applied only at bedtime after bathing, when relaxed, to DRY skin (use a little talcum powder or a hair dryer).

It is very important the skin is dry, as any moisture will break down ODABAN® to form irritants. Apply ODABAN® sparingly; just one spray, women, children and those with sensitive skin, should apply indirectly with a cotton wool make-up remover pad. Apply as directed only to the central hollow of the armpit, where the sweat ducts are located in an area around 4cms in diameter.

The following morning the treated areas should be washed to remove any excess product. There is no problem using your regular deodorant during the day, a moisturiser can be also used in conjunction with ODABAN® Spray but not before application or until after the skin has been washed the following morning.

Men’s skin is a little thicker and as the underarm hair also acts as a protective barrier ODABAN® can be applied directly to the skin. Most Hyperhidrosis sufferers will find ODABAN® Spray brings relief within several applications, a few individuals may need to use the cling film / Saran wrap technique. In this case a cotton wool pad is lightly soaked with ODABAN® and held in place overnight under the arms with cling film / Saran wrap. This helps boost ODABAN® ’s partial plugging of the sweat ducts even more.

It is critical when first using ODABAN® to avoid applying too much as this will block the sweat ducts completely which results in an eventual bursting of the “dam walls” and a swift return to the original wetness problem.

Remember to apply sparingly, less is more, build your protection slowly using nightly applications until control is established then reduce to the minimum number of treatments per week to remain dry, most individuals eventually require just one or two applications a week. Everyone is different so just take your time and go easy with the amount you use per application. Individuals who do not suffer from Hyperhidrosis will find just one application of ODABAN® Spray will keep them dry for a week or more.
