No compensatory sweating after botulinum toxin treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis

No compensatory sweating after botulinum toxin... [Br J Dermatol. 2005] - PubMed - NCBI: "Recordings were made at 16 skin areas and compared with subjective estimates of sweating.
RESULTS:
Following treatment, palmar evaporation decreased markedly and then returned slowly towards pretreatment values, but was still significantly reduced 6 months after treatment. No significant increase of sweating was found after treatment in any nontreated skin area.
CONCLUSIONS:
Successful treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis with botulinum toxin does not evoke compensatory hyperhidrosis in nontreated skin territories."
