Heads Up – Botox Used to Control Workout Head Sweats – Dave’s Diary

Where does it end? You want to look good so you need to work out.  But you can’t work out in the time you have because then you wouldn’t have time to make yourself look good.

Horns of a dilemma?  Nope. Just do what some super self-conscious and well heeled women are doing today.  Some women are now getting Botox injections in their scalps so that they don’t get their hair sweaty when working out. Yes, I really did just write that,  Botox to stop head sweating to preserve hairdo!

Doctors say it’s important to note that Botox can keep perspiration under control, and that many people get Botox injected into their hands and armpits every three months to address excessive sweating issues. Dr. Neal Schultz says getting a Botox injection on the scalp will have a similar effect, but results vary depending on the sweating pattern and volume, and that since the skin is thicker on the head the injections will be more painful. But hey, no pain no gain, right?

Overall, Dr. Schultz says, “the cost to benefit ratio isn’t going to make sense for most of us , considering the lack of ability to stop enough sweating to make a real difference.” (Yahoo) But chance are you know someone who is willing to give it a go.
