Hyperhidrosis Treatment (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin treatment for excessive underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis). At Ambulance estetické dermatologie MUDr. Mojmír Müller the dermatologist injects botulinum toxin into the affected skin to block the nerve signals that trigger the sweat glands, markedly reducing sweat production in the treated area. Pricing is dose-based at 200 Kč per unit; a typical starting dose for women is around 15 units per underarm, about 5,100 Kč for both underarms. The effect lasts several months.

Botulinum toxin treatment for hyperhidrosis interrupts the nerve signalling that drives overactive sweat glands. Injected into the skin of an affected area — most often both underarms — the toxin binds to the nerve endings and prevents the release of acetylcholine, the chemical messenger that would otherwise stimulate the eccrine sweat glands. With that signal blocked, sweat production in the treated zone is markedly reduced. At Ambulance estetické dermatologie MUDr. Mojmír Müller the treatment is performed by dermatologist MUDr. Mojmír Müller, with dosing individualised and charged at 200 Kč per unit; a common starting dose for women is around 15 units per underarm, so about 30 units and roughly 5,100 Kč to treat both sides, while men typically need a higher dose because of larger and more active glands. The procedure is short and uses a fine needle to place a grid of small injections across the affected skin, often after the area has been mapped to identify the most active zones. The effect is not immediate — it usually begins to develop within a few days and then builds — and it is temporary, gradually wearing off over several months as nerve transmission recovers, at which point a repeat treatment restores the benefit. Aftercare is straightforward: on the treatment day avoid intense physical exertion, the sauna, steam and the solarium, and postpone underarm hair removal for around three days. The treatment suits adults troubled by excessive underarm sweating that interferes with daily life or clothing and who want a reliable, non-surgical option; the dermatologist reviews suitability and contraindications, and confirms the sweating is primary (not caused by another condition), before treating.
