Injecting Botox into your feet or armpits may sound like a red carpet extreme, but the method now has the FDA's stamp of approval for treating superfluous sweating.
According to Dr. Frank, Botox is a great option for the excessively sweaty who are also sensitive to fragrances in deodorants or the aluminum in antiperspirants. "This procedure has become one of the safest and most effective standards of care for excessive perspiration," he continues. How does it work? When injected, Botox blocks the signal pathways that stimulate sweat under your arms. The procedure is performed with topical anesthesia, is generally side-effect-free and lasts for four to six months. Each maintenance session will set you back $1,500.
