There are few things worse in the corporate world than being labeled the resident office "sweaty guy". And unlike "dude who you can hear chewing from two cubicles over" or "sociopath who uses microwave to re-heat tilapia", with the exception of some prescription-level anti-perspirant, there's really not much you can do about it. God bestowed upon you some super-efficient sweat glands, and you have no choice but to let them do their work as you sit there in all your moist glory while your coworkers give you side-eye.
But now there's a solution for all the fellas forced to endure meetings covered in the clammy sheen of a freshly caught fish. The unlikely hero? Botox. That's right, Botulinum Toxin, the cosmetic that cures you of your age-induced wisdom rings wrinkles. According to celebrity dermatologist Patricia Wexler (via the NY Post), men are having the magical solution injected into sweat glands in their foreheads as a means of sweat prevention. It might cost you a pretty Penny—$750 to $2,500 per treatment—but , here at GQ, we're all about that Deion Sanders' professional mantra: look good, feel good; feel good, play good; play good, they pay good.
So, while there's no official word yet on whether this is really good for you (since, you know, sweat is your body's cooling mechanism), any cure that allows you to keep smiling even while you're crying, and brings out your best corporate self, we're all for!
*(*It does not mean, however, that your friends can't make fun of you for getting Botox. That is still very much fair game.)
