Removing excessive sweating

Many women and men suffer from excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, and not only during the summer. One of the most popular and effective ways to immediately eliminate excessive sweating is the application of botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin suppresses the sweat glands, completely or partially stopping them from producing sweat. For 4 to 6 months. With repeated treatment, this period is extended to another 6 to 12 months. Although the result does not last forever, the treatment significantly improves the quality of life for people suffering from hyperhidrosis.

For anyone who has a problem with excessive sweating, especially in the armpits, on the forehead or at the back of the neck.

The procedure can be applied at any time of the year. The treatment of excessive sweating does not require any special preparation.

The procedure itself takes a few minutes and an anaesthetic cream is applied beforehand to make the skin less sensitive. The botulinum toxin is applied with a thin needle under the skin near the sweat glands. After that, it penetrates directly into the muscle and takes effect within 2 weeks. We will show and explain everything to you in detail at the clinic. It is important to limit physical activity for the next 6 hours and avoid the sun, solarium, sauna and sport during the first two days after the procedure.

The injection sites may be sensitive, slightly reddened or swollen for 2-3 days after the procedure. The effect of the treatment lasts for 4 to 6 months. After that, the toxin evaporates from the body and the sweat glands are unblocked. If treatment is repeated 6 months later, the effect is extended to another 6 to 12 months. The treatment can be taken regularly, with no restrictions.

When to contact your doctor?

Botulinum toxin has no side effects. The injection sites may be swollen, slightly red and sore for two to three days. In very exceptional cases, flu-like symptoms may appear, but these go away on their own and do not require medical attention. A specialist should be contacted if the treated area is red, very itchy and shows signs of inflammation or infection.

One treatment is sufficient to reduce excessive sweating. The effect of the treatment lasts for 4 to 6 months. If treatment is repeated 6 months later, the effect is extended to another 6 to 12 months. The treatment can be taken regularly, with no restrictions.
