Easy ways to sweat less in summer

Think Botox is only for wrinkles? Think again. The popular injectable is approved for the treatment of hyperhidrosis.

“Botox can be used effectively for excessive sweating in certain areas including the underarms, groin, scalp/hairline and in skin folds such as under the breasts,” explains dermatologist, Dr Nancy Samolitis. “It is injected into the affected area and starts to work within one to two weeks and can last about four months. It is very safe when used for sweating, but it is important to be examined by a physician prior to having treatment.”

One note: make sure you’re getting Botox and not an alternate injectable.
