Botox for underarm sweating
Sweating and body odour are taboo. Underarm sweating in particular can be anything from an embarrassing personal hygiene problem to a nuisance when either the sweat or deodorant stains your favourite clothes. But I bet you'll be surprised to learn that underarm sweating is not a medical necessity. You may be even more surprised to learn that there is in fact a simple "cure" for underarm sweating which completely [though temporarily] eliminates sweating. The name of the cure? Botox. At Woodford Medical we use Botox to eliminate underarm sweating, each treatment lasting an average of six months.
Botox is of course better known for reducing fine lines and wrinkles - keeping us young and beautiful - but it has also proved an excellent treatment for muscle spasms affecting the eyes, face and neck and for foot problems in children with cerebral palsy. Botox as a cure for sweating, however, is something which is largely unknown by the public since of course it is rather less glamorous than facial rejuvenation and therefore less widely reported.
