How to apply Odaban
| 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 irritating side products. Apply Odaban sparingly; just one spray; women, children and those with sensitive skin, should apply via 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 possible excess left on the skin. There is no problem using your regular deodorant during the day. A moisturiser can be used in conjunction with Odaban but not before application or until after the skin has been washed the following morning. |  | | | Men’s skin is a little thicker and the hair underarms acts as a protective barrier therefore application can be made by spraying directly on to the skin. Most HH sufferers will find Odaban 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.
| When applying through the hair to the scalp, spray onto a cotton bud or pad, part the hair and dab gently.
| As the skin on the hands is relatively thick and there are a greater number of sweat pores than elsewhere, a little more Odaban can be applied per treatment if required, the cling-film / Saran wrap technique will help increase the drying effect.
| As the skin on the feet is also relatively thick a little more Odaban can be applied per treatment if required, the cling-film / Saran wrap technique will increase the drying effect.
| Larger areas on the body may require more than one evenly spread spray, for the back and areas difficult to reach, seek assistance with applications, so as to avoid over-application. Again, it is very important that the skin is dry, as any moisture will break down Odaban to form irritating side products. Apply Odaban sparingly; just one spray via a cotton wool make-up remover pad spread thinly and evenly over the skin.
| The sensitive skin around the genital and anal area is thin and sensitive therefore special care is required when applying topical treatments. It is important that the application be carefully dosed and spread evenly via a cotton pad.

It is critical when first using Odaban to avoid applying too much as this will block the sweat ducts completely for a short time, rather than creating a partial blockage, which results in a 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 can also use Odaban as directed and will find just one application will keep them dry for a week or more. |
