Summer is a great season to spend some time outdoors enjoying the warm weather. Unfortunately, with the heat of the summer months, you better expect to do some sweating, as well. This can come to be quite a nuisance, as you can end up sweating at times when you aren’t even physically active. Sweating can show through your clothes and smell, making it quite undesirable. This 
inconvenience leads many people to consider using Botox® to prevent sweating, especially under the arms.
When to Consider Botox®
If you have tried deodorant and other topical treatments to eliminate sweating under the arms and have had no success, it may be time to consider Botox®. Botox® is proven to work by blocking the nerve signals that stimulate your sweat glands and trigger the sweating response. After treatment, you can enjoy dry underarms for months to come.
What is Botox® Treatment Like?
The Botox® treatment is performed similarly to Botox® cosmetic treatments, except it is injected under the arms. This involves a series of injections which most patients find to be quite comfortable. After treatment, just like cosmetic injections, there is no downtime. Patients can return to work and other normal activities on the same day as their treatment.
When Will I Notice Results from Treatment?
Although Botox® begins to work immediately, it can take as long as four weeks for it to fully take effect. After this time, you will notice a significant reduction in underarm sweating. The effects of treatment typically last between six and seven months.
Put a Stop to Sweating
There’s no reason to suffer through the summer months every year with such a simple solution to sweating.
