Dysport and Hyperhidrosis...

Dysport is extremely effective on Hyperhidrosis. Results can last on average 6 to 9 months. The same rare side effect pertain to those with Botox Cosmetic. More common side effects are the mild pin point bruising from the needle insertion to the armpit or the treated area, some mild temporary swelling, and some tenderness right after due to the needle pricks. Hope this helps Dr. Grant Stevens

Dysport and Hyperhidrosis

Dysport injections are effective in decreasing the sweat production of Hyperhidrosis since Dysport has a similar mechanism of action as Botox Cosmetic. Some potential side effects include bruising, swelling and mild tenderness post injection. Multiple small injections are made into each axilla (armpit). The same rare complications that can occur with Botox Cosmetic can also occur with Dysport.

Dysport/Botox - How Effective Are Dysport Injections for Hyperhidrosis?

VERY effective! Injections of botulinum toxin, including both Dysport and Botox, and remarkably effective for hyperhidrosis and, amazing, the effects are often seen within 24 hours. I have literally had patients whose hands dripped with sweat one day - and were completely dry the next. It also works for the axillas (armpits) and any other area that sweats profusely. It can be done easily as an outpatient procedure, and takes only about 20-30 minutes, depending on... more

Using Dysport to treat Hyperhidrosis

I use both Botox and Dysport to treat hyperhidrosis. Either is effective and works for about 8-12 months. I use a full vial for either treatment (100 units of Botox or 150 units of Dysport).

Hyperhidrosis Fort Lauderdale

This is an outstanding question and was recently addressed by our medical literature that revealed efficacy for this embarrassing condition. It will be interesting to see if the number of units required are equal to, or greater than onobotulinum toxin A, given the molecule for abobotulinum toxin A is touted as diffusing more considering the smaller molecular size.

Dysport Is Effective For Hyperhidrosis

The use of the Botox brand of botulinum toxin has been part of the Hyperhidrosis treatment algorithm for many years. A study looking at Dysport brand was published in Europe in 2009. 45 patients were treated with 120 units in each armpit. The overwhelming majority of patients enjoyed complete absence of armpit sweating, and the effects lasted for 6 to 24 months. Another head to head study published in 2007 showed equivalent effects and longevity of the two products... more

Dysport injections for hyperhidrosis

Excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis, can be alleviated quite effectively with Dysport or Botox Therapeutic injections directly into the affected skin. They temporarily block the sweat glands which are responsible for excessive perspiration. Adverse reactions such as local muscle weakness are rare with these concentrations. These injections are typically done in a single treatment session and can provide months of relief. Treatments can be repeated once or twice a year to maintain... more
