Haytox
Hay fever symptoms can be reduced in severity for several months
For quite some time, we've been aware of the advantages of botulinum toxin (anti-wrinkle medication) in addressing issues like wrinkles, migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasticity.
Today, these medications can also be employed to alleviate hay fever symptoms, providing you with relief for easier breathing.

Hay fever is a prevalent condition affecting approximately 15% of the Australian population, leading to a wide spectrum of symptoms ranging from mild to severe. Patients commonly experience issues such as nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, headaches, and daytime fatigue. Unfortunately, many individuals find limited relief from their symptoms despite resorting to daily oral tablets and nasal sprays
In recent years, botulinum toxin, primarily known for its muscle-relaxing effects on facial expression, has gained recognition as an alternative treatment for hay fever. Over the past decade, research has unveiled botulinum toxin as a viable option for individuals who have found other therapies ineffective or prefer to avoid daily medication.
How it works
Haytox uses a application technique targeting the nasal cavity's lining membranes, completely avoiding the use of needles. It's not only quick but also entirely painless.
The effectiveness of the neurotoxin efficiently blocks the nerve endings and other cells on the nasal membranes that react to allergens and irritants present in the air we breathe.
By precisely delivering the toxin to the nasal cavity, you can effectively address the frustrating symptoms of hay fever, including sneezing, an itchy, runny, or congested nose, as well as red, gritty, irritated, watery, or excessively teary eyes.
What are the benefits of haytox treatment over other hay fever treatments?
The majority of hay fever sufferers rely on daily medication, especially in the spring and summer seasons when airborne grass pollens are at their peak. Additionally, windy days can exacerbate symptoms for those with allergic rhinitis due to the increased circulation of pollen. Botulinum toxin treatments offer a convenient alternative, delivering sustained relief and compatibility with traditional hay fever remedies.Who performs the injections?
Who is a suitable candidate for haytox treatment?
Haytox treatment is an ideal choice for individuals seeking a lasting solution to their hay fever symptoms. Some patients may choose this treatment to help potential side effects associated with oral medication and nasal sprays or who have not achieved satisfactory relief from other available treatment options.
Are the results permanent?
Results from botulinum toxin hay fever treatment are not permanent. Some patients that experience seasonal hay fever only require this treatment at the beginning of the hay fever season to relieve symptoms. However, patients who experience symptoms all year round can have treatment every 8 weeks. Treatment frequency can vary depending on how severe your symptoms are and how severe the current hay fever season is.
When will I notice results from the treatment?
The onset of results will vary from patient to patient due to severity of symptoms and individual patient factors. Generally, we have found that patients begin to notice relief from their allergy symptoms one to two weeks following treatment.
