No one knows why excess sweating occurs, but bad luck seems to be answer in most cases. For decades a lot of crummy treatments were touted to treat this disorder- but forget the past. Today we have Botox. This miracle molecule, which can erase your wrinkles and fine lines on the face, is a decent treatment for excessive sweating.

Botox injections have been shown to be quite effective at decreasing sweating and the drug acts by blocking the sweat glands from releasing excess sweat. While it is not a permanent cure, it sure can make you feel a lot better about your self and renew your self confidence. Most patients who get Botox injections notice that the sweating disappears in a few weeks and lasts anywhere from 6-12 months.

Botox injections are relatively painless and the procedure is done at a spa or a clinic. For the squeamish male who is afraid of needles, one can ask the doctor , dermatologist, or medical spa specialist to numb the areas with a topical cream. The procedure rarely takes more than 30 minutes and there is little downtime.

Aside from some mild arm weakness there are no major side effects. The decrease in sweating is obvious the next time you shake your another’s hand. The maximum effect of Botox takes about 2-3 weeks.

The cost of Botox ranges from $ 500-1500 and is now available at most cosmetic and spa clinics, such as Evanesque. The procedure is considered cosmetic in nature and not typically covered by most medical insurance. Choose your therapist well. For safety, select a therapist who has the credentials to perform the procedure. Botox, when administered by an experienced health care worker is a safe and effective way to eliminate the embarrassing problem of excessive sweating of the underarms, hands and feet.
