Everything you need to know about anti-sweat injections

Had no idea that this was a thing- tbh sounds kinda freaky!

I sweat excessively, but on the face! I use facial antiperspirant in summer.

As for my pits, I noticed that I sweat a lot less now that I've had IPL hair reduction.

I have sweaty palms, but this isn't something I would consider having done.

Didn't even know this was a thing, I'll pass. Sounds cringey.

I had a cousin who got this done, think it was just before last Christmas or the one before.

She expressed she wasn't super thrilled with the results and that she found she just started sweating more on her head and in the middle of her back.

Which makes sense, given you generally sweat as a method to bring the body temperature down, so if you're blocking one way to chill out, you're body will likely find another avenue to cool you off.

I guess it's not for everyone

I had no idea you could get anti sweat injections. Learn something new each day.

I hate underarm and feet sweat.

But rather than go down this route for underarm sweat I have realised there are so many things I can do to make it not as bad which includes; drinking the right amount of water (helps regulate your core temperature), wear natural fibres (synthetics are often non breathable), look for clothing colours where you do not notice discolouration from sweat too much (I have a beautiful emerald green top which discolours badly!, faint colours are often good), choose tops which are not tight under the arms, use antiperspirant deodorant, always keep underarm hairs as short as possible and wear layers where you can (so that when you do get too hot you can remove a layer of clothes).

If you do have a sweat problem you cannot pick one of two of these items in isolation, you need to practise all of them at once to avoid always being sweaty.

Once you are in the habit of choosing the right clothes in store and doing everything else, it is not that hard to keep on going but you will still make a mistake every so often (I have and I love my emerald green top which I mentioned earlier, such a beautiful colour but I do not like the embarrassment which it gave me!)

Oh, i’m a shocking sweat ball in summer, with my face and hair the worst culprits. But I’d rather drip and apologise than block this natural cooling function and further overheat. (I swear I run about 5°C hotter than everyone else and haven’t even used a summer-weight doona since the middle of Melbourne’s winter. Just a sheet and even then it gets kicked off throughout the night.)

Not something I would consider.

Needles and Me are a no go. But thankfully I dont have this problem.

I dont have this problem. Ooo not for me though.

I'm petrified of needles! I know someone who did this as had excessive hand sweating and it worked for his hands but then he started getting excessive underarm sweating which he never had before

I knew that Botox was a treatment and I would definitely consider it except for the cost! I’m surprised it’s not covered by Medicare but the second it is it would be rorted by thousands who would suddenly claim that their excessive facial sweating causes them social anxiety to the point that it is detrimental to their mental health.

I sweat when I'm stressed but it's not that bad where I would consider having botox. Since switching to natural deodorant though, I can handle the sweat because it doesn't have an odour.

I would love this. I currently use natural deodorants which are not anti antiperspirants, and I hate that wet, sticky feeling. But at $1,000 I don't think I'll be rushing to have it anytime soon.

I don't have an excessive sweating problem but I can definitely see how some people would want this treatment

I have palmar hyperhydrosis which means excessive sweating of the hands and feet. It is extremely uncomfortable to have this condition in summer. In winter my hands and feet are super dry. I wouldn't go down the path of injections mainly because of the cost.
