Botox can lead to muscle weakness-with sweat injections and wrinkle injections

Written by David Castillo


Are you considering Botox treatments to alleviate excessive sweating? Well, you better think again.
Reports claim that a 17-year-old, who had Botox to regulate her sweating, ended up not being able to text on her phone. Apparently, the anti-wrinkle injection can cause muscle weaknesses.

“I would definitely discuss this with my patients going forward as a specific potential side effect,” explained Julia Lehman from Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Lechman treated the teenager with Botox. She says that the incident “shows the importance of thinking about modern-day activities and how our treatments could potentially impair some of these modern-day activities such as texting.”
