What is involved in treatment of hyperhidrosis?
Using a very fine needle, your Doctor will inject a small amount (0.1-0.2 ml) of Dysport® into 10 to 15 places about 1 cm apart and spread evenly in each armpit. A course of treatment usually takes about 30 minutes. Different people have different responses to treatment. In a clinical trial, sweat production was reduced by 83% one week after treatment. Further sweating was reduced by at least half in 95% of patients. The average length of treatment lasts 7 months with a third of clients experiencing comfort for up to 18 months. If you decide not to have any further treatments there will be no lasting change in the areas treated. Sweating will gradually return to the level it was before you started treatment.
