Most individuals know that Botox ® is used to treat wrinkles and creases on the facial skin; however, this injectable can also help those who suffer from hyperhidrosis – excessive sweating. By injecting Botox into the underarms, the nerve signal that triggers sweating is blocked, which provides patients with perspiration relief for approximately six months. Botox, to treat excessive sweating, is said to be a common treatment that beauty pageant contestants undergo prior to their event, such as the recent Miss Universe pageant.

Those who undergo Botox injections for underarm sweating may see results in just a few days, which would allow men and women to prepare for an event. Along with the Miss Universe contestants, celebrities have been known to seek this treatment before attending a premiere or awards ceremony. Underarm Botox injections can help prevent unflattering sweat stains on clothing and criticism on the red carpet. Now, these injections are becoming more mainstream and those who struggle with excessive sweating often seek a qualified professional to help alleviate this bothersome trait.
