Medical Treatments:
Excessive Sweating:
BOTOX® for hyperhidrosis (aka: excessive sweating)
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that affects the quality of life and self-confidence of those who suffer from it. It can make social situations uncomfortable and lead to avoidance of any situation that may highlight the disorder. Hyperhidrosis can affect the whole body or target specific parts of the body that contain sweat glands, including underarms, hands, feet, scalp or facial areas. While hyperhidrosis may be present at birth, it can occur at any age and often presents during adolescence.
BOTOX® Therapeutic is a purified protein that is injected into the afflicted area to temporarily block the chemical responsible for activating the body’s sweat glands. While in effect, patients are free from the effects of excessive sweating, and studies demonstrate dryness lasting from 4 to 18 months.
Migraines:
Chronic Migraine is defined as 15 or more headache days per month over 3 months, with 8 headache days meeting criteria for migraine with or without aura.
To meet criteria for migraine, the patient experiences two of the following symptoms: Headache on one side of the head only
- Headache throbs or pulses
- Headache is moderate to severe in pain intensity
- Headache is aggravated by, or causes avoidance of, physical activity and is accompanied by either nausea and/or vomiting or sensitivity to light or sound.
- Additionally, the migraine sufferer will have treated their headache with migraine medication prior to the expected development of the symptoms listed above .
BOTOX® for Migraines consists of precise injections into seven muscle groups around the neck and head which are the 2 areas associated with headaches. By reducing muscle action in these 2 nerve-sensitive areas near the brain, symptoms and severity of migraines can be significantly reduced. It is recommended to repeat treatments every few months depending on the individual’s condition.
