Sweating Too Much? How About a Little Botox?

Tuesday June 10, 2008
With this week's record high temperatures, we're all sweating more than usual. But for some people, excessive sweating is a problem they live with every day. Unfortunately, even clinical strength anti-perspirants don't do the trick fro some. Enter anti-sweat injections.

Usually when we think of Botox, we think of relaxing away wrinkles to obtain the super-smooth look gracing the faces of Hollywood's elite. But the muscle-relaxing effects of Botox injections have other uses as well, and one of them is reducing the amount of sweat produced by our sweat glands in certain areas. While Botox can't help much with an all-over sweating problem, underarm injections are growing more and more popular.
