Treatment overview
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) isn’t just an aesthetic issue — for many patients it’s an everyday source of discomfort that quietly but powerfully creeps into all aspects of life.
These are situations others may not even notice — but the person living with them feels acutely:
constantly checking their clothing, avoiding certain colours, unease when shaking hands, the running thought “will it show?”.
Over time, it’s no longer just a physical problem — it becomes a psychological one too.
It affects self-confidence, spontaneity and a sense of security in everyday situations as well as important life moments.
Botox therapy works exactly where the problem starts — on the nerve impulses that activate the sweat glands. By temporarily blocking them, sweating in the treated area is significantly reduced or stopped altogether.
What makes this method especially valuable isn’t just its effectiveness — it’s the change it brings to the patient’s daily life.
The moment you stop thinking about sweating, space opens up for what really matters.
Botox has been used in medicine for many years to treat hyperhidrosis and is considered the gold standard when other methods don’t deliver. Effectiveness often reaches 80–90%, which translates to a real, tangible change for patients.
If you’ve ever found yourself planning your day around how much you’ll sweat — this is a treatment that can change that.
How the treatment is performed
The treatment is carried out by injecting Botox into the surface layer of the skin in the area of excessive sweating.
Most common areas:
- underarms
- palms
- soles of the feet
During the procedure:
- the area of excessive sweating is mapped out
- small amounts of product are injected at multiple points
- the treatment is quick and controlled
A topical anaesthetic cream may be used where needed, especially in more sensitive areas such as the palms and soles.
Who the treatment is for
The treatment is ideal for people who:
- have excessive sweating that interferes with daily life
- feel uneasy in social or professional settings
- don’t respond to antiperspirants or other methods
- want a long-lasting, effective solution
If sweating is affecting your self-confidence — that alone is reason enough to address it.
Our approach
Hyperhidrosis is often an underestimated problem — but for the person living with it, it’s very real.
At our clinic we approach this treatment with understanding and discretion. We don’t see it as just an aesthetic intervention, but as a way of giving the patient back a sense of control and confidence.
The treatment is performed by dermatology specialists who precisely determine the area and dose so that the result is even and natural.
We take the time to explain every step — because we want you to come into the treatment without any uncertainty.
Patients often come back to us with one simple sentence:
“I don’t even think about it any more.”
Preparing for the treatment
Before the treatment, we recommend:
- arriving with clean, dry skin
- avoiding shaving (for the underarms) for 24 hours beforehand
- not using strong antiperspirants immediately before the treatment
Recovery and precautions
Recovery is minimal.
After the treatment:
- mild redness or sensitivity may occur
- everyday activities can resume immediately
Recommendations:
- avoid intense physical activity on the same day
- avoid touching the treated area for a few hours
When results become visible
Results develop gradually.
- the first effects are visible after a few days
- the full effect within 1–2 weeks
Outcome:
- significantly reduced sweating
- a sense of dryness and security
- freedom in everyday and social situations
The effect typically lasts 4–6 months, and longer for some patients.
Treatment combinations
The treatment can be combined with other approaches depending on the patient’s needs:
- Icoone Laser Med — to improve microcirculation and skin quality
- Candela Nordlys — for treating redness or skin irritation
- Morpheus8 — to improve skin quality
Additionally:
- dermatological consultation
- an individual treatment and maintenance plan
