Botox against sweating helps quickly and easilyIncreased sweating in various parts of the body can significantly reduce quality of life. Both women and men of all ages can be affected. The most commonly affected areas are the armpits, feet, and hands. Soaked underarm vests, wet socks, or sweaty hands are the unpleasant side effects. What's bothersome is that the increased sweating often occurs without physical exertion, and there's usually no other identifiable medical cause that allows for treatment.
Botox treatment against increased sweating can in all parts of the body The method is very effective, uncomplicated, and virtually without side effects or complications.
Botox is injected into the superficial layers of the skin - where the sweat glands are located. The effect begins after a few days and reaches its full effect in the first 2-3 weeks. The effect lasts for an average of 5-6 months, although the intervals between treatments are usually significantly longer with regular injections. After the treatment, you should avoid sport and strenuous exercise for 24 hours, otherwise there are no restrictions.

repetition of the treatment

Application in which body region

decision-making aids
Essentially, these are fundamental decisionsthat make up a Botox treatment for excessive sweating.
Should I have Botox treatment do it at all? – Sometimes it is better not to do something at all.
Good advice highlights all the advantages and disadvantages of a treatment – and thus helps you make the right decision.
region
Depending on the region, there are different levels of effort and risk involved. And also different good alternatives.
In the armpit area the effort is minimal (ice cooling is enough to reduce pain) and the risk is minimal. Therefore, the armpit region is also a very frequently treated region
Treating the palms of the hands is only tolerable with twilight sleep. If the armpits and palms are affected, a sympathectomy may be the better treatment in the long term
Soles of the feet can only be treated with local anesthesia or a short anesthetic – here, sympathectomy is relatively risky and should always be carefully considered
The forehead is a classic Botox region - therefore Botox can be used at any time - the only thing to consider is that the eyebrow will sink if the dosage is too high - therefore you should also keep an eye on the entire region and, for example, it makes sense to treat the eye region as well.

details Information on possible complications can be found in the information documents
In summary, good preparation (information, explanation, problem analysis), the experience of the practitioner and the material used are important factors for the success of a Botox treatment for excessive sweating.
You should avoid…
- Don't be afraid of the small stings - with ice and possibly cream for local anaesthetic, the treatment is as painless as possible!
anesthesia – pain reduction
- possibly cream for local anesthesia
- Ice
- possibly take a painkiller tablet one hour before treatment
the treatment
no blood thinning medication for about 1 week before treatment.
THINKING POSITIVELY – helps. It not only prolongs life, but is also always a good first step towards any treatment or operation.
the treatment
Treated area should be protected for a few hours, avoid sweating, avoid dirt, avoid irritation such as strong heat exposure
Do not apply any alcohol-containing products to the treated area – this may reduce the effect
possibly ice cooling in the first days after treatment
our preferred technique/recommendation
- ice cooling
- possibly local anesthetic cream
- Treatment usually once a year – before the time when sweating is most stressful
Cost
guidelines
500 to 650 both armpit regions – depending on the actual quantity and effort
reasonable budget
Basically, you always determine the price or your budget yourself. Depending on the quantity and quality of the material used, a reasonable price range results.
A final cost estimate is only possible and meaningful after a detailed on-site inspection and clarification of individual wishes.
downtime
Generally no real downtime
In the first hours or days after the treatment, the region should be protected
