Botulinum Injections for Hyperhidrosis Botulinum Injections have received much media attention in recent years for its use in treating wrinkles. This toxin is now being used to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).  Derived from one of the most lethal natural toxins “Clostridium Botulinum”, botulinum injections contain Clostridium Botulinum Type A Neurotoxin Complex. Back in 1988, patients being treated for facial tics found their wrinkles had reduced, leading to the cosmedics industry heralding it as a wonder drug for youthful looks. Botulinum is not a wrinkle remover or filler, it works by blocking a chemical called acetylcholine, that is released from nerve endings in order to cause the facial muscles to move. By stopping these facial muscles from contracting, less expression lines will be visible, resulting in smoother, younger looking skin. When used for Axillae Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the armpits), injections are administered to the armpit skin. The botulinum blocks the release of the chemical acetylcholine from the nerves that stimulate the overactive sweat glands. Results are quick, usually within a few days, but the results do diminish meaning repeated trips to the clinic and large annual costs. Individual treatment costs are in the region of £400 to £500 for both armpits. For those who botulinum injections does work for, you will have large annual treatments costs in the region of £800 to £2,000, due to the effect wearing off after 3 to 6 months. Don’t forget, botulinum does not cure dripping, excessive sweating for everyone, therefore make sure you get a money-back guarantee - we offer one for our breakthrough Antiperspirant range - a spray for armpits, a spray for hands and a spray for feet.
