I started searching around for sweat-stopping alternatives. That’s when I read about Botox for sweating. I haven't completely ruled out the needle as an anti aging solution on my face—wrinkles are inevitable, and I try to embrace every line—but I never thought I'd get Botox in my armpits. Botox has been a well-accepted treatment for excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis. But it can also be used for less serious cases of sweating—like mine. In fact, celebrities have been known to get a little underarm Botox before award season. Sweat stains are not an option when you’re wearing an expensive couture gown on loan. So, I decided to go under the needle to see if this would be the solution to all my pit troubles. For me botox was not an option – it was just plain scary! I've used underarm pads. They definitely stop the eternal musty smell from my clothing, and have saved the color on my shirts! This method – the underarm pads I think is the best solution. If you have any questions shoot me one and I'll try to check back. Good luck!

Hi,
I've tried everything. I've tried different treatments and couldn't sleep due to the burning, and this was a month after using it. My Doctors won't refer me to a specialist because it's only my armpits, not my hands and feet. I can't lift my arms at work, or wear any t-shorts. I'm getting married in next month and am TERRIFIED that I'll have pit stains on my wedding dress! How embarrassing thinking that I’m going to be a stuff laugh in my special day. I wish someone will give me an effective advice that will help me. Thanks a lot. I will much acknowledge your help.

Risks are very minor with Botox. The main consist of headache, pain, and flu-like illness. In general, botox injections are relatively safe when performed by an experienced doctor. But although very unlikely, it's possible for the toxin in the injection to spread in your body. So it must be used strictly under a doctor's care. It's important that injections be placed precisely in order to avoid side effects. Botox therapy can be dangerous if it's administered incorrectly. A skilled and properly certified doctor can advise you on the procedure and help determine if it best suits your needs and health. Botox injections usually begin working one to three days after treatment. Depending on the problem being treated, the effect may last three months or longer. To maintain the effect, you'll need regular follow-up injections.

I had my Botox three months ago. I have experienced pain, swelling or bruising at the injection site and I know it is normal and temporary. But I also had eye dryness and sometimes excessive tearing. Is it normal? Anyone had the same situation?

I had my Botox for my excessive sweating last year, and as any injection can hurt, so does botox, however, the needles used for Botox injections are very small, so the pain I experience is minimal and tolerable.

What I felt is a little discomfort after the session, once the anesthetic cream has worn off.

Side effects I experience was pain at the injection site, inflammation, swelling, redness, bleeding and bruising, these lasts for about a week. Also, I experience dry mouth, fatigue, headache and neck pain, although I am not sure if these were related to the treatment I had.

There are many side effects of Botox but it can be avoided. First you must make sure your practitioner is very experienced at Botox injections and is a respected medical professional. Having said, he must know what he is doing! A salon stylist, for example, is not an appropriate person to administer Botox, because he or she would not have emergency equipment or sufficient medical knowledge if something went wrong. Always follow your practitioner's pre- and post-injection instructions very carefully. You must report all side effects — especially those that are bothering you or won't go away. Also let him know of any medications you have gone from the past. And any medicine you are taking at the moment.

I also had my Botox sessions for my excessive underarm sweating and the immediate side effects I experienced was something like flu-like symptoms that are accompanied by nausea and headaches. They just slowly disappeared. I know people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a neurological disease should not use Botox.

As far as I know, Botox is considered safe. It has side effects but can be controlled. And not all people who undergone botox experienced the side effects. Botox is only injected in small, targeted doses so no need to worry about the poison some people are claiming.  Although botulinum toxin is life-threatening, small doses — such as those used in the application of Botox — are considered safe.
