| In
2004, BOTOX® (Botulinum Toxin Type A) received FDA approval
for the temporary control of primary axillary Hyperhidrosis.
Botox is a purified protein that can block the chemical transmitters
that activate nerve endings. BOTOX® very effectively blocks
the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. Now, excessive
sweating can be dramatically reduced for many months at a
time with just a single treatment of several injections of
BOTOX® into the areas that overproduce sweat. Potential
side effects may include bruising, pain during the procedure,
and temporary localized muscle weakness. These side effects,
if they occur at all, are temporary and generally resolve
quickly. Please contact our office for a formal consultation
regarding the diagnosis and management of excessive sweating. |
