Particularly in the armpits, excessive sweat can lead to unpleasant odours, causing significant discomfort for those affected.

At our specialist practice for plastic and aesthetic surgery, we provide sweat gland treatment using Botox in a welcoming and modern environment. Conveniently located in the heart of Hamburg, Traumpraxis am Alstertor is easily accessible for patients from both within and outside the city. The procedure typically takes just 15-20 minutes and allows you to return to your daily routine immediately after.
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.
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 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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
Most patients experience little to no side effects. In rare cases, temporary skin irritation or mild muscle weakness in the treated area may occur.
