History- Botulinum Toxin Type A, (Botox) has been widely used in general medicine for many years to treat symptoms such as muscle spasms, flickering eye lids etc. It has been licensed for use in cosmetic treatment. Methodology- When Botox is injected into the area around the armpit, or axilla, it has the temporary effect of reducing the amount of sweat produced by the sweat glands. The success of this treatment will give your confidence a boost and you will feel more relaxed. As the Botox treatment is only temporary, the sweating will start again after just under a year-then you can simply top up! Treatments-Most commonly the frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet are the areas that are chosen for botox treatment, but it need not be confined to these areas. Botox is injected with a very fine needle and only a few patients report minor discomfort after the treatment. Treatments take about thirty minutes and there is little or no recovery time required-you can have it done on your lunch hour! Over 80% of patients report improvements in the amount of sweat the body produces after a week and results can last for up to twelve months.
