Excessive Sweating Treatment (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injected into the underarms, palms or soles to reduce excessive sweating in those areas. By temporarily blocking the nerve signals that drive the sweat glands, the treatment can keep the skin markedly drier for months at a time. It is a practical option for adults whose day-to-day comfort or confidence is affected by heavy localised sweating that ordinary antiperspirants do not control.

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can affect the underarms, palms and soles far beyond what is needed for temperature control, and it often resists standard antiperspirants. Botulinum toxin offers a well-established way to manage it: tiny amounts are injected across the affected area, where they temporarily interrupt the chemical signal that tells the local sweat glands to activate. The result is a substantial reduction in sweating limited to the treated zone. At Klinika Anna Pikura the area is mapped and treated with a grid of small injections; underarm treatment is usually quick and comfortable, while palms and soles are more sensitive and the clinic takes steps to keep the procedure tolerable. There is little to no downtime, and you can return to normal activities the same day. The effect typically becomes noticeable within several days and commonly lasts in the region of several months before the sweating gradually returns and the treatment can be repeated. Many people choose to time a session ahead of summer, an event or a demanding work period. The treatment is suited to adults bothered by heavy, localised sweating; it is not performed in pregnancy or breastfeeding, and your suitability, expectations and any contraindications are discussed beforehand.
