Even the deodorant and the clinically suggested anti-perspirants also seem to have no effect. After the diagnosis is completed, discuss with your physician about having a BOTOX treatment. Remember that it may not necessarily be useful for you.

However, all of them experienced that sweating was reduced to half. It would be great, if this works for you as well. You have a simple process to follow. The doctor has to detect the location of the glands in the underarm. Then, each gland is injected with the toxin.
