Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) is not merely a cosmetic issue – it can significantly impact one’s quality of life. Overactive perspiration in the underarms, palms, soles, or forehead can be disruptive to daily routines, affect social interactions, and lower self-confidence. While sweating is a natural physiological process, if it occurs excessively, it is worth seeking medically sound, targeted treatment options.
Modern aesthetic treatments allow you to reduce sweating in a spectacular and safe way. The medical use of botulinum toxin (Botox) to reduce sweating is one of the most effective non-invasive procedures. The aim of the treatment is not to stop the body’s natural thermoregulation, but to reduce the disturbing production of sweat in a localised way – with effectiveness lasting up to months.
The goal in treating excessive sweating is not to stop sweating completely, but to restore quality of life. Botox injections effectively and specifically block the nerve impulses of the sweat glands, thereby reducing sweating in the area. The treatment is a quick, gentle and long-term solution for those seeking a permanent solution to excessive sweating without the need for surgery.

Before treatment, a specialist consultation is always carried out to identify the problem area and rule out any contraindications.
Botox is injected with tiny needle pricks into the area around the sweat glands. The procedure lasts 20-30 minutes and anaesthesia is not usually necessary, but can be used on request.
Rarely, mild swelling, redness or temporary sensitivity may occur at the injection site, which will go away on their own in a few days.
Treatment takes 3-7 days to take effect and lasts on average 6-9 months. Sweating is significantly reduced and the patient’s well-being and comfort are improved.
Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the signal transmission between the nerve endings and the sweat glands, so the sweat glands do not receive an activating impulse – thus reducing sweating.
Anyone who experiences excessive sweating in the armpits, palms or soles
Who does not respond well to traditional antiperspirants
For those looking for a permanent, but not permanent solution
Those who do not wish to have surgery
Anyone who is embarrassed by sweating because of aesthetic or comfort issues
The duration of the effect may vary from person to person, usually 6-9 months. With maintenance treatment, a drier, more comfortable feeling can be enjoyed over the long term.
Is the treatment painful?
The treatment may cause slight discomfort, but is not considered painful. If necessary, an anaesthetic cream can be used.
How fast does it work?
The reduction in sweating is seen within 3-7 days, with the full effect seen in 10-14 days.
Is it not recommended for some?
Treatment is not recommended in cases of acute inflammation, pregnancy, breastfeeding or neuromuscular disease.
Can it affect the body’s natural thermoregulation?
No – because it only works locally, on the problem area, the rest of the body’s ability to sweat is preserved.
