Botox Treatments

How effective are Botox Treatments?

There are common misconceptions regarding this cosmetic procedure. Some view it as the elusive elixir of youth which brought back their glory years. Many view it as an effective way to bring back the smooth skin of their youth. How do you separate hype from reality? Exactly how safe is this cosmetic treatment?

Botox was originally formulated in 1970 by Alan Scott, an Ophthalmologist and a chemist partner. Dr Scott was looking for a compound that could reduce or eliminate eye spasms and strabismus. At this time, the Type A Botulinum toxin was dubbed Oculinum. This compound’s muscle relaxing capabilities achieved a much wider market when pharmaceutical giant Allergan marketed Oculinum.

Originally intended for anti-spastic medical uses, Botox aesthetic value was not immediately appreciated by its inventors. Once it was shown this toxin-derived compound can smooth out facial lines, Botox market appeal exploded almost overnight. Now, Botox is one of the most heavily-marketed aesthetic compounds on the market and its global market continues to grow at a healthy clip!

What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is essentially a disorder characterized by excessive sweating. The profuse sweating may affect the entire body or be specific in just one region of the body.

Hyperhidrosis is not a life-threatening condition, but it may cause great amount of discomfort. This disorder is known to start during puberty. In the United States alone, there are about 8 million Americans who are diagnosed with hyperhidrosis. The most common sites for excessive sweating are the armpits, hands, armpits, and the groin as these regions are identified to have higher concentration of sweat glands than other parts of the body.

Hyperhidrosis can be classified into two categories:

Generalized hyperhidrosis:

Excessive sweating affects the entire body.

Focal hyperhidrosis:

In this case, excessive sweating may only be observed in certain parts of the body. For instance, palmoplantar hyperhidrosis.

What are the symptoms of Hyperhidrosis?

• Sudden chronic excessive sweating that has occurred for at least 6 months

• Excessive sweating on both sides of the body

• No sweating during sleep

• Clammy or wet soles and palms of the hands

• Obvious sweating that penetrates through clothing

Botox is directly injected into affected areas of the body.

The interruption at the area where Botox is injected makes it possible for sufferers to experience a significant decrease in the amount of sweating.
