Existing topical and surgical therapies are either ineffective or associated with unacceptable morbidity and sequelae. Botulinum A neurotoxin (Botox) has been shown to decrease sweating in normal skin and in palmar hyperhidrosis. OBJECTIVE: The current study was undertaken to demonstrate the utility of using Botox in the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis. METHODS: Twelve patient with axillary hyperhidrosis underwent intradermal injection with 50 units of Botox in the axillary skin bilaterally. RESULTS: All patients enjoyed relatively complete anhidrosis of the axillary skin in periods ranging from 4 to 7 months. Repeat injections produced similar results. CONCLUSION: Botulinum A neurotoxin (Botox) is an elegant and simple treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 2003225652 |
