Researchers have suggested that sufferers of Raynaud's syndrome could find a lifeline in the form of Botox.The painful condition occurs when the blood vessels in hands and fingers over-react to cold temperatures, going white and then blue.

Sufferers often experience ulcers and sores, and in extreme cases amputations are not unheard of. However, according to some reports, Botox has successfully been used as a way of providing relief.Further reports have stated that said some patients have experienced reduced symptoms for three months after having Botox treatment, and in most cases the effect happens in just three to five days.According to the Raynaud's and Scleroderma Association, Raynaud's syndrome affects between three and 20 per cent of the world's population, with approximately ten million sufferers in Britain.
Although Absolute Dental do offer Botox for cosmetic purposes, sufferers of this condition would need to be referred to a specialist in this particular field.
