Forget dry shampoos… Try Botox for Scalp Sweating!

Posted on October 30, 2015

Forget dry shampoos or simply putting hair in a ponytail. When it comes to avoiding excessive sweat during pre-work or midday workouts, some women are turning to Botox injections, dubbed ‘blowtox’ in the scalp to save their hair days and their blowouts.

Dermatologists have used Botox scalp injections for years to ease migraines. Botox is also being used to treat patients with excessive sweating under the arms that can be socially embarrassing, or for those with excessive sweating on the palms.

In small doses Botox blocks the nerves that supply the sweat glands, leading them to stop producing sweat. But whether it’s the armpits or the scalp for a blowtox injection, the results are only temporary.
