Clinically Proven
Approved by Health Canada in 2001 for excessive underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis), Botulinum toxin treatments have helped thousands of people with this stressful and frustrating condition.
The approval of Botulinum toxin was based in part on a double-blind clinical study. The treatments were effective for 95% of patients in the first week and 82% of patients after 16 weeks. Adverse reactions were reported in only 4.5% of cases, with the primary reaction being a perceived increase in non-axillary sweating. Other side effects are rare but can include mild pain or bruising, both of which are temporary.
How Does Botulinum Toxin® Work for Hyperhidrosis?
Botulinum toxin is injected into the affected area where it stops the nerves from sending the “sweat” signal to your sweat glands. Injections are done with an ultra-fine needle for a virtually pain-free experience. For facial hyperhidrosis, small injections are made near the hairline, where the sweating initiates.
The nerves are not permanently affected and will return to their normal condition when the effects wear off.
