Would you believe there is one product that can make your wrinkles disappear and make you sweat less? Well, there is and it’s called Botox. Botox is the brand name of a collection of bacteria called clostridium botulinum. In a small, diluted form this otherwise toxic substance can prevent you from frowning and hide those embarrassing sweat stains.

 

Wrinkles can be annoying, so if you can’t commit to a face lift, then Botox is the answer to those problem areas. A medical professional injects small amounts of Botox in strategic areas of the face, such as crow's feet wrinkles around the eyes, and in a couple of hours the once crinkled lines between the eyes will look smoother.

 

How does Botox stop sweating?

Sweating can be a different story altogether. Yes, like I said, wrinkles are annoying, but over sweating can be down right embarrassing. Some people can roll on the deodorant and antiperspirant to no avail. Botox can also be the answer for chronic sweaters. Gone are the days of stained shirts and constant pit checking. Well, until the Botox wears off of course! To stop excessive sweating, Botox is injected into the armpit area and produces paralysis of the area that allows sweat to be excreted.

 

Is Botox safe?

Well, let’s not forget, it IS botulism, and that can cause catastrophic disease. But, the amount of botulism toxin is formulated in a way that can be considered safe. The downside is, if Botox is chronically injected over time, it takes more injections to achieve paralysis. I guess that is the price of beauty.

 

So if you have unwanted wrinkles or a faucet of sweat under your arms (or both!), then Botox can really help you out.
