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 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.

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.
