Hyperhidrosis Treatment in Hamburg
Effective treatment against excessive sweat production with Botox
Botox Treatment Against Excessive Sweat Production
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a common and often distressing condition. Particularly in the armpits, excessive sweat can lead to unpleasant odours, causing significant discomfort for those affected.
Botox treatment at Traumpraxis am Alstertor in Hamburg offers an effective solution to this problem, significantly reducing perspiration. This treatment is not only suitable for the armpits but can also be applied to the hands and feet. On average, Botox can reduce sweat production by around 50%.

How Does the Treatment of Sweat Glands with Botulinum Toxin Work?
Effect and Course of Treatment
Botulinum toxin A, more commonly known as Botox, is a naturally occurring substance that reduces the excitability of nerve cells. When injected into the sweat glands, Botox significantly decreases their activity, leading to a marked reduction in sweat production. In addition to treating hyperhidrosis, we offer other Botox treatments in our practice, such as wrinkle reduction, nose lifting, and gummy smile correction.
The Treatment Procedure
The Consultation
Before each Botox treatment, we conduct a thorough consultation to ensure the procedure is appropriate for you. Our experienced specialists will assess whether you have any allergies or other conditions that might contraindicate Botox injections. We will also discuss alternative treatments such as MiraDry, sweat gland suction (suction curettage), or surgical sweat gland removal, if applicable. If Botox is deemed suitable, we will schedule your treatment appointment.
The Actual Treatment
The treatment process begins with disinfecting the targeted area. If necessary, we apply a local anaesthetic ointment, particularly useful for treating sensitive areas like the hands and feet. The injections themselves are generally painless and cause minimal discomfort. After the procedure, you can immediately resume your normal activities.
Aftercare with Free Follow-up Treatment
At our Traumpraxis Hamburg, you receive a free touch-up after 14 days following every Botox treatment. This way we ensure that your result matches your expectations exactly.
What You Should Bear in Mind After Treatment
Botulinum toxin does not work instantly. It usually takes between three to seven days for the effects to become noticeable and for sweat production to reduce significantly. The results typically last for about six months, although they can persist longer in some cases. If needed, the treatment can be repeated to maintain the effects.

FAQ on Sweat Gland Treatment with Botox
You can find our terms and conditions here.
What Exactly Is Botulinum Toxin?
Botulinum toxin, or Botox, is a naturally occurring substance produced by bacteria that reduces the excitability of nerve cells and muscles. During sweat gland treatment, a small amount of botulinum toxin A is injected directly into the affected skin areas to reduce sweat production.
How Does Sweat Gland Treatment with Botox Work?
Sweat glands are activated by neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine, which stimulate the nerves connected to the glands. By injecting botulinum toxin, the transmission of these signals is blocked, leading to a significant reduction in sweat gland activity.
How Many Injections Are Required for Sweat Gland Treatment?
The number of injections depends on the area being treated and the severity of hyperhidrosis. For example, six to eight injections per armpit are typical. The number of injections may vary for the hands and feet based on individual needs.
Are There Any Side Effects of Sweat Gland Treatment with Botox?
Most patients experience little to no side effects. In rare cases, temporary skin irritation or mild muscle weakness in the treated area may occur.
Is the Treatment of Sweat Glands with Botox Uncomfortable?
No, the procedure is generally not painful. We apply an anaesthetic ointment to minimize discomfort, ensuring that the injections are as painless as possible.
