Hay fever treatment
Hay fever impacting your daily life?
Hay fever is a common annoying condition affecting up to 18% of the population. Typical symptoms experienced by patients are runny or congested nose, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, headaches and daytime tiredness.
Peak times for people suffering commence around July and peak in October when airborne grass pollens are most prevalent. Windy days can also circulate a large amount of pollen, increasing the symptoms for allergic rhinitis sufferers on those days.
What’s the alternative to daily medication?
The botulinum toxin works by blocking the conduction of nerve signals in the nasal passage which triggers the onset of hay fever symptoms. Administered as a spray into the nostrils, Botulinum toxin treatments are a convenient alternative, as they provide long-term relief and can be used in conjunction with more conventional hay fever treatments.
The onset of results will vary from patient to patient due to severity of symptoms, the dose used and individual patient factors. Generally, we have found that patients begin to notice relief from their allergy symptoms one to two weeks following treatment.
