Botox
Fights Excessive SweatingBotox
may work on more than wrinkles, with research now showing it may help people plagued
by an excessive sweating disorder. The
condition, hyperhydrosis, results in sweating that exceeds the normal amount required
to maintain a consistent body temperature. People with this common disorder produce
up to four times the sweat of average people, and find themselves sweating even
during the dead of winter.
Interim
data from a three-year study involving 193 patients found that repeated treatment
with Botox (botulinum toxin type A) for severe underarm sweating significantly
reduced the amount of sweat produced, according to researchers at the St. Louis
University School of Medicine.
The
findings were presented this week by researchers at the summer meeting of the
American Academy of Dermatology in Chicago.
