I got 50 units of Botox injected in each palm sweating 5 days ago. I am not sure if i am seeing the results yet. Doc said it takes 7 days to see effect and 2 weeks to see full results. Is this norm? from day 1 i feel its working but when sweat breaks out it gets dripping and uncontrollable. I barely used my palms or exposed to heat for 1st three days except for daily hot shower. today I went out in hot weather and sweat started dripping profusely. Can anything external pressure heat ruin botox?
