So, as far as I can tell, all of the main HH treatments have side effects and/or don't work that well.

-Antiperspirants have heavy metals which are not good for your general health, not to mention average to minimal performance in some people.
-ETS has it's share of side effects, like redistribution of effects and once again it doesn't always work.
-Anticholigernics have many side effects
-Botox is expensive and side effects have been reported

Thoughts/comments?

yep unfortunately everything does seem to

Botox didn't really have any though for me for my underarms ...only problem was only lasted about 2 months

The liposuction u pointed out in your other thread is the only treatment really which if it works I can't see it having any side effects

Unfortunately they all have side effects, but some are worse than others. You have to weigh up the side effects Vs improvement in sweating. Obviously ETS surgery is the ultimate decision, because all of the other treatments can be stopped and the side effects will (usually) stop.

I've heard with the liposuction just as with ETS the sweating can just reappear in another part of the body.

botox - expensive for some.. might not work, toxic if not done properly

liposuction - compensatory sweating (?), scars

might be expensive for some outside the uk...I wouldn't consider the cost a side effect especially if it works
...and it possibly not working isn't a side effect it's a risk...slight difference...
I've never heard of anyone not having it done properly and being effected by toxins...
so all in all your side effects you mention aren't really side effects at all...botox is pretty much risk free and for most works for some time

liposuction Ive not heard of any people having compensatory sweating and also it leaves minimal scars if any at all and if ur a guy they wouldn't even be noticeable as hair would cover them so again side effects aren't really plausable u mention
