HayTox is an intranasal treatment that uses anti wrinkle injections to relieve the symptoms of chronic rhinitis, such as hay fever or idiopathic (non-allergic) rhinitis. It is administered using a nasal atomiser, which delivers a fine spray into the nasal passages.

HayTox works by temporarily blocking the release of acetylcholine in the nasal lining. This reduces the activity of glands responsible for producing mucus, resulting in relief from symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, and nasal irritation. The effect typically lasts for up to 12 weeks.

This treatment is ideal for individuals who:

• Experience persistent symptoms of hay fever or chronic rhinitis
• Have not had sufficient relief from oral antihistamines, nasal sprays, or steroid injections
• Are seeking an additional or alternative treatment option

Yes, HayTox may be used safely in combination with oral antihistamines, steroid nasal sprays, eye drops, or other treatments for allergic or idiopathic rhinitis. It is considered an adjunctive therapy.

• Fast, simple, and painless procedure
• Well tolerated with no reported side effects in studies
• Can be repeated every three to four months as needed
• Provides an alternative for those who are resistant to other therapies

At present, no significant side effects have been reported in clinical studies or routine use. The procedure is very well tolerated by most patients.

• Patients are advised to use a standard saline nasal spray approximately 30 to 60 minutes before their appointment in order to clear the nasal passages.
• The treatment is carried out while seated comfortably in a treatment chair.
• The treatment is delivered via a nasal atomiser as a light mist.
• The process takes only a few seconds per nostril and is painless.
• Gauze is available to gently absorb any residual fluid.

Yes, patients should avoid using any nasal sprays for 24 hours following the procedure. No further aftercare is typically required.

A follow-up appointment is recommended approximately three to four weeks after treatment. If partial symptom relief is reported, a top-up dose or adjustment may be considered.

The cost of HayTox is €500. Although this is higher than many standard treatments, patients often find it offers greater convenience and longer-lasting relief.
