Not for my face though.

For underarm sweating...

Anyone ever get this yet?

Dermatologist said i would get like 15 pinches in each arm with a needle.

Update
I'm getting it done today.

There you go pepsi!

My neighbor has a natural tumor.

I recommended he leaves it idle in all its beautiful and perfect naturalness.

He declined.

It just started happening over the last year. Tried several different deoratents thinking that was the problem, but nope. So I finally told my doctor and he recommend i see a dermatologist... she was hot also...

deodorants and antiperspirants work by clogging the pores so no sweat comes out. maybe the problem is your glands are now hyperactive because of it.

I'm getting the procedure done this afternoon.
I havent put on any deodorant today, they need you to stop using it for 24hours.

I will get about 15 injections in each armpit... bring on the pain.

How does that keep your body from producing sweat in that area?

I sweat horribly on my back and butt.
Like ring your clothes out soaking wet kind of sweat. I don't know why. Perhaps my body temp. is higher than normal.

Normally its used to smooth out wrinkles. It works by using an extremely small ammount of toxins to paralyze something in the skin (muscle? a skin layer? something like that) which relaxes it. Apparently they're finding other uses for it too.

I don't sure exactly, but i think it will numb the sweat glands.
I seem to have Hyperhidrosis because i also have sweaty palms.

Anyways they told that first they will put some powder and chemical in my armpit that will identify the location of my sweat glands and then they will inject the botox...

I'm getting it done at 5pm

How long has that happened to you? Is it possibly connected to your meager caloric intake and running?
