Happy end to heavy sweating
Yes, the answer for excessive sweating is Botox. Botox is, of course, best known for reducing fine lines and wrinkles but it has also proved an excellent treatment for sweating.
Horses sweat, gentlemen perspire and ladies glow, the old quotation has it. But if you suffer from excessive sweating, particularly if it is accompanied by a strong odour, glowing can be extremely embarrassing.

This use of botox for sweating is largely unknown by the public since it is rather less glamorous than facial rejuvenation and therefore not widely reported.
The 15-minute treatment for excessive sweating, called hyperhidrosis, in the underarm area involves the application of 20 to 30 pin-prick injections of Botox. There are minimal side-effects and no recovery time.
Just one treatment will significantly reduce sweating for up to six months.
How does it work? Small amounts of Botox in the skin of the armpit stops nerves sending signals that control the sweating process. The sweating starts to reduce three to four days after the treatment.
Who should be interested?
The simple but very effective process is of enormous value to the obvious candidates - people who have a perspiration problem – but also to a very large number of people.
The process helps people who work in close proximity to others, like regular gym users, for instance, and personal trainers, and at the othe end of the spectrum, people who are allergic to deodorants and antiperspirants.
There's a demand for the treatment in advance of a special night out or event when they are concerned about spoiling expensive outfits – or upsetting valued friendships or associations.
It's also a popular pre-wedding treatment, but not just for the bride and groom, but for guests who, especially for summer weddings, want to avoid perspiration patches from the dancing, or because they worry that the smell of their sweat might give offence.
It might seem a subject for humour, but it is desired by people who regularly give presentations and are anxious to avoid the embarrassment of wet patches on their shirts or blouses.
The wonder of the treatment is that it is absolutely simple and really works. Make no mistake, it is a well-tested treatment for the elimination of a taboo problem.
