Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating is a very important way for the body to lose heat. However, people with hyperhidrosis produce sweat in amounts far greater than needed and this can have a profound effect on their daily lives, including their confidence.
Bo.tox is a treatment given by injection into the skin. It is recommended for the treatment of hyperhidrosis in the armpits.
Botulinum Toxin is a very pure preparation of a protein, Botulinum toxin type A. When small doses are injected into the skin, Bo.tox blocks the action of the nerves that supply the glands that produce sweat. Bo.tox will block the nerve endings but over time new nerve endings do grow to replace them.
The effect of treatment last for several months but eventually it will wear off and repeat treatment is required.
