Botox Reduces Sweat!
We recently had a patient (Nurse Julie) who wanted help with her overactive sweat glands. She didn’t know that when administered properly, Botox reduces sweat. We worked with her to resolve the problem – here’s how it happened:
Nurse Julie’s left wrist has had a sweating problem since she was a teenager. She was never able to wear anything on that arm – no watches, jewelry, or bracelets, since they would always slide off or suffer damage from the oils in her skin.
She eventually came to terms that she would just have to wear her watch on her right hand and moved on-until she heard about how Botox was being used to reduce excessive sweating through our Instagram.
We had recently administered Botox to a patient’s armpits, and the results were promising.
Botox blocks the nerve signals that are responsible for sweating, which in turn prevents the sweat glands from becoming overactive. This has been a well known side effect of botox and has been used for the treatment of hyperhidrosis for years.
