Treatment for Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

Excessive sweating can significantly impact daily life—and is often caused by hyperhidrosis. Botulinum toxin treatment for hyperhidrosis specifically reduces the activity of sweat glands, for example in the underarms, on the hands, or on the forehead.

Excessive sweating can be treated effectively and discreetly at our practice in Hamburg.

Botulinum toxin for the treatment of hyperhidrosis

Botulinum toxin treatment for hyperhidrosis specifically reduces the activity of the sweat glands. Botox® is often used to treat excessive sweating when it interferes with daily life—such as in the underarms, hands, or forehead—and conventional measures are insufficient.

Especially in the underarm area, the treatment can lead to a significant improvement in quality of life. Sweat production is specifically reduced in the treated area without preventing the body from sweating overall.

Treating excessive sweating: these areas are possible

Depending on the diagnosis, treatment for excessive sweating may be appropriate in various areas:

Underarms for severe underarm sweating

Hands for clammy or wet palms

Forehead for visible sweating on the face

Which area is treated depends on where the hyperhidrosis occurs and how much it interferes with daily life.

What medical condition causes excessive sweating?

Excessive sweating may be a sign of hyperhidrosis. In this condition, the sweat glands produce more sweat than is necessary for normal temperature regulation. A distinction is often made between primary hyperhidrosis, which is usually localized, and secondary hyperhidrosis, which can be triggered by other factors or medical conditions.

If heavy sweating suddenly begins, affects the entire body, is particularly pronounced at night, or is accompanied by other symptoms, the cause should be evaluated by a doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The effects of botulinum toxin treatment for hyperhidrosis typically last about 4 to 9 months. The exact duration may vary depending on the treated area, individual sweat production, and personal metabolism.

In hyperhidrosis treatment for excessive sweating, botulinum toxin is injected directly into the affected area of skin. Once there, it temporarily blocks nerve signals to the sweat glands, causing them to become less active and produce less sweat.

For severe sweating, botulinum toxin can be used to treat the underarms, hands, and forehead in particular. The appropriate area for treatment depends on where the hyperhidrosis occurs and how severe the symptoms are.

Excessive sweating may be a sign of hyperhidrosis. This condition involves excessive sweat production that goes beyond normal sweating. Excessive sweating can occur as a primary condition or be caused by other underlying factors. Therefore, sudden, nocturnal, or generalized sweating should be evaluated by a doctor.

After undergoing treatment for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), there is generally no need for an extended recovery period. The treatment is performed on an outpatient basis and can usually be easily incorporated into your daily routine.
