excessive sweating

what is hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis happens when your sweat glands are overactive. Your autonomic nervous system sends too many signals, so you sweat constantly or in sudden bursts. There are two types. Primary hyperhidrosis has no clear medical cause and usually affects specific areas, such as the armpits, hands or feet. Secondary hyperhidrosis is caused by an underlying condition or medication.

causes and triggers

• genetic predisposition
• stress and tension
• hormonal changes (e.g. menopause)
• certain medicines or medical conditions (in the secondary type)
• heat, spicy food and alcohol can make symptoms worse

symptoms

• soaked armpits or damp hands and feet, whatever the temperature or activity
• visible sweating on the head or face
• regularly changing clothes or feeling self-conscious about sweat marks
• irritation or chafing on damp skin

botox for sweating

Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the nerve signals that switch on your sweat glands. The result? Within a week, you sweat noticeably less – and feel a lot more at ease.

results you can expect

• within 3 to 7 days, you clearly notice less sweating.
• you can wear what you like again without worrying about sweat marks.
• the effect lasts 4 to 6 months on average; repeat treatments extend the sweat-free period.

before and aftercare

• avoid intense exercise, saunas and hot showers for 24 hours.
• do not massage or rub the treated area.
• keep the skin clean and dry; use a mild, alcohol-free deodorant if needed.
