Botox Toronto – How Far Has It Progressed?

Botox Toronto How Far Has It Progressed

Botox has been the number 1 treatment to turn back the clock on frowns and wrinkles.
Botox works by temporarily immobilizing muscle activity. It does this by blocking nerve-muscle communication, which makes the injected muscles unable to contract.
Paralyzing muscle activity is how Botox can steady a straying gaze, eliminate an eyelid spasm or stop signaling nerves that stimulate sweat in a person’s armpit.
Allergan’s history dates back to 1991 when Allergan bought Occulinum; which was then a treatment for patients with wandering or cross eyes, and named it Botox.
In 2002 Botox earned FDA approval for frown lines (vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows). This was the first time a pharmaceutical drug was given approval for strictly cosmetic purposes.
In 2004 Botox was approved for axillary hyperhidrosis (chronic sweating).
Allergan then got its next approval for chronic migraines in 2010, and in 2013 Botox received FDA approval for crow’s feet.
With each passing year, researchers develop more indications of this versatile agent, and continue to find more uses for it.

Botox Toronto For Sweaty Feet

botox for sweaty feet toronto
Sweating is our body’s way of cooling and releasing toxins. Yet severe sweating of the feet can be a real nuisance as well as embarrassing problem for some.

Although hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is not an illness, it is a condition that can seriously alter ones daily life. Hyperhidrosis may cause discomfort, rashes, strong odors and in some cases severe infection

Treatments for sweaty feet have included: Antiperspirants, powders, foot baths, and Iontophoresis.

If sweating becomes uncomfortable and embarrassing, then it’s probably time for a medical solution.

Botox injections are a popular treatment choice for underarm excessive sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis) and can also be used to manage excessive sweating on the hands and feet as well.

Botox is often the medical treatment choice for excessive perspiration of the feet. It is a relatively quick procedure where small amounts of Botox are injected into focal areas of the feet. These injections are placed just under the skin using a very fine needle. Any discomfort is usually minimal.

Studies have shown that 93% of patients experienced a reduction in sweating of the treated area within one week. Typically, Botox injections in the feet tend to “wear off” in 3 to 4 months.

Botox is the only prescription treatment medication for hyperhidrosis that is approved by Health Canada. For more information on Botox Injections for the feet,  visit us at Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto https://www.lastinglooks.ca/botox-toronto/
