Botulinum toxin is the substance responsible for the major revolution in Cosmiatry treatments. With a recommendation for rejuvenation, it is also a highly effective and safe alternative for the treatment of hyperhidrosis. By blocking sweat stimulation near the glands, botulinum toxin temporarily reduces sweat production for a period ranging from 4 to 10 months. The transient chemical suppression of sweating with botulinum toxin creates safety, since the patient is aware of “being able to stop sweating when he wants”, simply reapplying the toxin, a privilege that was not previously possessed. This causes the vicious circle to break because the initial trigger for sweating is disabled. We use 3 brands of toxin to treat hyperhidrosis. They are: Botox® manufactured by the Allergan laboratory; Dysport® manufactured by Ipsen lab and Xeomin® manufactured by Merz lab.
