Hyperhidrosis Botox Treatment is a process that is used to treat excessive sweating. It is accomplished by injecting Botox with fine needles under the skin into the armpits, or wherever you have the most problems with overactive sweat glands. It works by blocking sweat glands and stops excessive sweating. This procedure can help correct this problem for anywhere from three to six months.
Development of Hyperhidrosis Botox Treatment
Treatments for Hyperhidrosis started many years ago with various different procedures and medications in an attempt to control, reduce or eliminate the symptoms of hyperhidrosis completely. The most commonly used treatments are oral medications, iontophoresis and surgery, none of which have been all that effective in treating the symptoms.
BOTOX® started about 20 years ago and has been used as a highly effective treatment for many different conditions since then. The FDA approved BOTOX® to treat Hyperhidrosis in 2004, and it has been in use since that time. It is instructed to only be used with topical and oral medications don't work to the full effect. It is, however, only to be used on patients over the age of 18.
Also, important to remember when it comes to Hyperhidrosis Botox Treatment is that there may be possible side effects, but there no known cases of the serious spread of toxin. There have, however, been some serious cases of allergic reactions.
