Toxins

Clostridia Botulina (BTA) bacteria produce a class of chemical compounds known as “toxins”. The BTA is processed and purified to produce a sterile product suitable for specific therapeutic uses. It produces a temporary paralysis (chemodenervation) of muscles by preventing transmission of nerve impulses. BTA injections are customized for every patient, depending on his or her particular need. Results are evident in as little as 5 days and be effective up to 4 months.

Dysport® is recommended as an FDA-approved treatment that temporarily improves the look of moderate to severe frown lines and wrinkles. Muscles that control facial expressions are used often, and tightening these muscles over and over can cause frown lines. Dysport can halt the tightening of these muscles for up to four months and is an ideal option for many seeking smoother, wrinkle free skin.

Hyperhidrosis (hi-pur-hi-DROE-sis) is abnormally excessive sweating that is not always related to rise in body temperature or exercise. There are nerves which are responsible for signaling your sweat glands and they can become overactive, even though they haven't been triggered by physical activity or a rise in temperature. With stress or nervousness the problem becomes even worse. Sometimes prescription strength antiperspirants can help. When they are not effective sometimes botulinum toxin can be injected. The effect of botulinum toxin can be up to six months. Results can vary.
