Did you know that there are other uses for Botox® besides reducing fine lines and wrinkles on the face? In 2004, Botox injections were approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a safe and effective treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis or excessive underarm sweating.
If you suffer from hyperhidrosis, chances are you’ve tried many antiperspirants and topical treatments in the hopes of controlling the sweating to no avail. If your self-esteem has taken a dive and you’ve lost hope, try Botox treatment as it may just herald a new chapter in your life. With Botox, you’ll soon be able to wear the clothes you want without feeling anxious or embarrassed of your sweat marks.
How Does It Work
Botox is made out of a natural protein that has the ability to temporarily block the nerves in the underarm which stimulate sweating. It is injected just below the surface of the skin with results showing as soon as two to four days after treatment. The best results, however, may begin to show after two weeks and continue to last anywhere from three to nine months. Some studies have also cited effects lasting up to 14 months, depending on the patient.
Botox Injections at Rejuve
Since the mode of treatment requires injections, it is best to have Botox administered by a doctor or cosmetic specialist who can take note of all the approved indications. No one should ever entertain thoughts of going down the DIY route to avoid complications.
