Botox for sweating is a quick and uncomplicated solution. Increased sweating in various parts of the body can significantly reduce the quality of life. Both women and men of all ages can be affected. The most commonly affected parts of the body are the armpits, feet and hands. Soaked vests on the armpits, wet socks or sweaty hands are the unpleasant side effects. What is usually distressing is that the increased sweating occurs even without physical exertion and there is usually no other identifiable medical cause that allows treatment.
Botox treatment against excessive sweating can be used on all areas of the body. The method is very effective, uncomplicated and has practically no 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.

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.

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
