Thirty-five units of botulinum toxin type A for treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis in female patients

Abstract

We present a retrospective audit on efficacy and impact of 35 units of botulinum toxin type A per axilla on quality of life in female patients with axillary hyperhidrosis. This audit shows that 35 units of botulinum toxin type A is a reasonable starting dose and could significantly improve patients' quality of life and reduce the cost of treatment. © 2011 The Authors Australasian Journal of Dermatology © 2011 The Australasian College of Dermatologists.
