Uses of Botox to prevent sweating
Excessive armpit sweating can be treated with Botox. Results vary however, and your doctor will be able to give you advice on whether
this treatment will be helpful to your personal situation. An injection can prevent excessive sweating for up to 6 months, after which the patient
will need to be injected again. So make sure you take into account the recurring costs that may occur due to needing multiple injections.
A sweaty body can be very uncomfortable for many people. Botox does offer a solution. Between 15 and 20 drops are injected into the underarms. Underarm sweating is reported to be decreased by 90% in the first 2 days, and full effect will kick in 1 week after injection.
All kinds of people undergo botox treatment for excessive sweating problems. From models to people who wear clothes which clearly show sweating when it's summer. Botox for sweating is basically available for 90% of the population, however pregnant women and breastfeeding
women are not to undergo botox treatments. The actual procedure is quite simple and requires no anesthesia at all. A small needle is used
to inject the Botox, you should hardly notice the injections. Excessive underarm sweating is also called axillary hyperhydrosis and caused
by over stimulation of the sweat glands. Botox is a lot more efficient against sweating than other currently available drugs and procedures.
There are some risks. The treatment can cause sweating to stop in other parts of your body. Independent tests have been performed and
show that the effect of Botox injections lasts for an average of 5.2 months. The only negative we can think of is perhaps the price, which
ranges from 600 to over a 1000 dollars. It is of course up to you to decide whether it's worth the price!
