Treatment of Hyperhidrosis with BOTOX - VISTABEL - DYSPORT
- Sweatox
INTRODUCTION
- BOTOX - VISTABEL - DYSPORT is a purified preparation of botulinum toxin TypeA,obtained from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating above the physiologically required level the body needs to control the temperature. This can be either focal,affecting discrete areas such as the under arms,palms,forehead or feet or generalised affecting the whole body,usually caused by hyperthyroidism,diabetes or infections.
USE
- Botulinum Toxin BOTOX - Dysport can be used to treat Focal Hyperhidrosis; excessive sweating,in the under arms,forehead,or palms.
ACTION

This means that the effect of Botulinum Toxin is temporary and the effect gradually wears off after 4 – 6 months. The onset of action is 3 to 5 days after injection and the reduction in sweating can last up to 6 months. Repeat injections may be required to reduce sweating to the desired level.
