About Neurotoxin Injections for Hyperhidrosis |
Hyperhidrosis is a condition of involuntary excessive sweating which typically involves the axilla (armpits), palms of the hands, soles of the feet, the groin, and the face. Not all individuals have excessive sweating in all these areas but many do have a positive family history in another member. It is particularly discomforting to have excessive sweating in the axilla and the palms because of social interactions. | |
Neurotoxin Hyperhidrosis treatment |
In order to assess the appropriate
dosage of Neurotoxin to treat hyperhidrosis, a Minor's starch iodine test is
applied to the affected area (i.e. underarms, palms etc.). After the
test is applied, the area of sweating is visible, as well as the
severity of the sweating, which can guide the dosage required. Usually
men require higher doses than do women. |
