Research has shown that treating the armpits, hands, feet, and face with this toxin is safe and effective. In one clinical study involving 322 patients with severe axillary sweating, 81% of the patients receiving injections achieved a greater than 50% reduction in perspiration. And, 50% of the patients had their condition relieved for at least 201 days (nearly 7 months).
Btoxin is a natural, purified protein with the ability to temporarily block the secretion of the chemical in the nervous system that is responsible for “turning on” the body’s sweat glands. By blocking the communication between the nerves b-toxin “turns off” perspiration at the area where it has been administrated.
Note if during the procedures some glands missed sweating can continue from the untreated areas. If this happens, it’s important to talk to your doctor so that he or she can re-evaluate the areas and perhaps “fill in” the gaps with additional units.
Use of muscle relaxant product does not cure hyperhidrosis; your symptoms will return gradually. Follow-up injections are required to maintain dryness. These repeat injections may be necessary at intervals varying from seven to sixteen months.
