BOTOX scalp hyperhidrosis treatment

Excessive sweating of the scalp is not merely an aesthetic concern.

It is a condition that can affect everyday life — from discomfort and self-consciousness to the constant need to wash one’s hair and a feeling of losing control.

Scalp hyperhidrosis arises from excessive activity of the sweat glands, most often under the influence of the nervous system.

BOTOX therapy offers a medically proven solution that addresses the root cause of the problem.

By administering botulinum toxin type A, nerve impulses to the sweat glands are blocked, thereby reducing their activity.

The result is:

  • a significant reduction in sweating
  • a feeling of dryness and freshness
  • greater everyday comfort and confidence

This is not a cosmetic treatment — it is a targeted medical therapy for a functional concern.


How is the treatment performed?

The treatment is carried out by administering small amounts of botulinum toxin into the scalp via precise micro-injections.

Its action involves:

  • blocking acetylcholine at the nerve endings
  • reducing stimulation of the sweat glands
  • controlling hyperhidrosis

The treatment is targeted to the areas where sweating is most pronounced.

For optimal results, the treatment may, where appropriate, be combined with:

  • dermatologist-led scalp therapies
  • scalp biorevitalisation to improve skin quality
  • PRP therapy for scalp and hair health
  • exosomes and polynucleotides for regeneration

Who is the treatment for?

The BOTOX scalp hyperhidrosis treatment is intended for individuals who:

  • experience increased scalp sweating
  • feel discomfort and a loss of control over their sweating
  • need to wash their hair frequently
  • notice a worsening of symptoms in stressful situations

It is particularly suitable for:

  • individuals with diagnosed hyperhidrosis
  • those seeking an effective and long-lasting solution

When are results visible?

The maximum effect develops over:

  • typically 4–6 months

Recovery and precautions

The treatment involves no significant downtime.

You may experience:

  • mild tenderness
  • tiny pinpoint marks at the injection sites

It is recommended to:

  • avoid physical activity on the same day
  • refrain from washing your hair for 24 hours
  • avoid heat and saunas for a short period

Before the treatment:

  • arrive with a clean scalp
