I decided to undergo underarm botox even though I didn't have a problem with excessive sweating. I was told the effect will wear off by 8 months, however I noticed that i started to sweat 2 weeks after my botox! Does this mean underarm botox does not work for me? Should I have it re-done? Did the doctor do something wrong?
