Elimination of sweating with botulinum toxin

Treatment Description

To treat excessive sweating

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a condition that typically has a negative impact on both personal and social life. It can be caused by genetic factors, but also by medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity, thyroid disorders, and others, or as a reaction to stressful situations, mental strain, or an unhealthy lifestyle.

A great way to prevent embarrassing situations is to have excessive sweating professionally treated with botulinum toxin. When injected under the skin, this effective substance can stop unwanted excessive sweating for up to several months.

Botulinum toxin — not just for expression lines

Botulinum toxin is a substance that has been used in medical and cosmetic practice for many years. It is precisely in these fields that its ability to block the transmission of certain signals between nerve endings is put to use. This property is utilized not only for smoothing wrinkles but also for treating excessive sweating.

Botulinum toxin can be injected into the forehead, underarms, décolletage, palms, soles of the feet, or other areas as needed. The effect is always the same—after injection, the sweat glands are blocked, preventing sweating in that specific area.

Reduces sweating for up to 12 months

The botulinum toxin injection is very quick and is performed on an outpatient basis. Before the procedure, we numb the area using an anesthetic cream or cold compress, and then, using a fine needle, we administer botulinum toxin under the skin through several small injections. The effect usually appears within 1 week. The result is a significant reduction or even cessation of sweating.

No special precautions are necessary after the treatment, and the client can immediately return to their normal work routine.

The effect will be prolonged with another application

The main advantage of this procedure is its long-lasting effect. The duration of botulinum toxin’s effects varies from person to person, but it typically relieves clients of excessive sweating for 4 to 12 months. After this period, the effectiveness gradually diminishes.

This is the ideal time to repeat the treatment. With subsequent applications, the effects last longer. Clients typically come back for a follow-up treatment once a year.
