Follow-up of Patients With Axillary Hyperhidrosis After Botulinum Toxin Injection

Botulinum Toxin A for Axillary Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

“…There are no explicit criteria for the dose and frequency of the subsequent treatments; according to previous reports, patients have requested additional injections 4 to 17 months after the first treatment. 4,5,16,17,35,36 We found that although the mean rate of sweat production gradually increased after injection of botulinum toxin A, after six months it was still well below half the initial mean rate. The exact mechanisms of recurrent hyperhidrosis after intradermal injection of botulinum toxin A are unknown.…”

High-dose botulinum toxin type A therapy for axillary hyperhidrosis markedly prolongs the relapse-free interval

“…11 Only 4 relapses occurred within 12 months (11.8%). Heckmann et al 16 observed relapses in 25% of patients with axillary hyperhidrosis within 7 months. Odderson 17 reports an anhidrotic response lasting between 2 and 8 months for axillary sweating.…”

Lower Relapse Rate of Botulinum Toxin A Therapy for Axillary Hyperhidrosis by Dose Increase

“…Only 4 relapses (17%) had occurred after 7 to 10 months. Heckmann et al 25 observed relapses of axillary hyperhidrosis after 3, 4, and 7 months in 25% of patients. Recently, in a review of botulinum toxin A treatment for focal hyperhidrosis, Odderson 26 reported an anhidrotic response lasting 2 to 8 months for axillary sweating and 13 weeks to 12 months for palmar sweating.…”
