HOW DOES BOTULINUM TOXIN TREATMENT WORK FOR AXILLARY HYPERHIDROSIS?

Botulinum toxin treatment is FDA approved for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis. It involves the injection of a neurotoxin into the underarm area to reduce excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). It works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, which in turn reduces sweat gland activity.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM BOTULINUM TOXIN TREATMENT?

Individuals who suffer from axillary hyperhidrosis that significantly impacts their daily lives and have not found relief through other treatments, may benefit from botulinum toxin treatment. At Dr D Aesthetics Medical Clinic, our doctors will assess if you are suitable for this treatment. Botulinum toxin injections for axillary hyperhidrosis should be administered by a qualified medical doctor.

DOES BOTULINUM TOXIN TREATMENT IMPROVE BODY ODOUR?

Yes, botulinum toxin treatment can help improve body odour. Excessive sweating is often associated with an unpleasant smell, and by reducing the amount of sweat produced, this treatment can lead to a noticeable decrease in body odour.

WHAT IS THE STARCH-IODINE TEST?

The starch-iodine test is a diagnostic tool used to assess the extent of axillary hyperhidrosis and determine the effectiveness of botulinum toxin treatment. It involves applying a solution of iodine and starch to the underarm area. Sweating areas turn the solution from brown to dark blue, indicating excessive sweating. This test helps guide the dosage and placement of botulinum toxin injections.
