BOTOX™ is currently the only FDA-approved treatment for the temporary reduction of moderate to severe lines. BOTOX™ is a purified protein that is injected, blocking the nerve impulses and reducing the movement of those muscles. With less movement, the skin surface gradually smoothes out, and the lines begin to fade producing a fresher, more relaxed appearance.

Can BOTOX TM treatment help? BOTOX™ is FDA-approved for severe underarm sweating when topical agents don’t work. BOTOX™ treatment helps control this condition by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands.  When the sweat glands don’t receive chemical signals, the severe sweating stops. How effective is BOTOX™treatment? BOTOX™ treatment is very effective.  One clinical study involved 322 patients with severe underarm sweating. • 57 out of 104 BOTOX™ treated patients (55%) achieved an effective response – compared to only 6 out of 108 treated without BOTOX™ (6%). • 84 out of 104 BOTOX™ treated patients (81%) achieved a greater than 50% reduction in sweating – compared to only 44 out of 108 treated without BOTOX™(41%).  What is treatment with BOTOX™ like? The procedure is relatively straightforward.  A small volume of BOTOX™ solution is injected into the affected underarm area through a very fine needle. The needle is placed just under the skin, so you may experience some injection-related discomfort. You will receive multiple injections based on your doctor’s assessment of the area that needs to be treated.  How long does a BOTOX™ treatment last? In a recent clinical study, the median duration of response in BOTOX™ patients was 201 days or 6.7 months (i.e.,half of the patients had a treatment duration of at least 201 days or 6.7 months)  It is not a cure; your symptoms will return gradually, and you will know when the time is right for another treatment.  Your healthcare provider will recommend a treatment strategy to ensure that you receive the best possible results with BOTOX™ treatment.
