Don't sweat it Botox will sort it

Deodorant ? No thanks, I’ll just have some Botox in my armpits.

Botox is a legitimate treatment that stops sweating for up to nine months. If you’re thinking « I thought Botox was for wrinkles » you’re right. But Botox is a versatile drug with many uses.

Injected into the muscles that create frown lines, it blocks the nerve signals that tell muscles to contract.

Injected just underneath the skin, it similarly blocks the nerve impulses that are telling your sweat glands to sweat

People worry it is not safe, but it’s a recognised treatment for a condition called hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating.

If your problem is sweaty palms, or a forehead that runs with sweat, you can have those bits treated too. Treatment is even available on the NHS.

Treatment is pretty straightforward - you lie on the clinic bed with one arm behind your head, and we will administers between 15 and 20 tiny injections across the whole area.

The treatment takes up to ten days for it to take effect.

People worry whether it is a bad thing for your body not to sweat and whether the sweat from your armpits just goes to somewhere else. But don’t worry about this, it doesn’t, because it’s only stopping sweating on a small part of the body’s overall surface area. Your body just isn’t creating sweat in that area while treatment lasts. Great for summer and you can have this treatment done with us at Cave aesthetics, Cheadle & Manchester City Centre.
