Typically, only one palm is treated with injections on the first visit.
Prior to treatment with BOTOX®, the palm is wiped with iodine and
starch powder. The deep purple-black color shows the extent of the
sweating before treatment with BOTOX®.
The starch test is then repeated to identify any areas which were
missed and inject those areas. On the second visit the treatment is
repeated on the alternate hand.
One week after treatment of both palms, the starch test is repeated
on the first hand to demonstrate the extent of dryness that has been
achieved.
The following four photographs show the progress of treatment with
BOTOX®. One can see quite clearly how BOTOX® diffuses from the individual
injection points to produce almost complete anhidrosis as a focal
effect in the palmar skin.
