Hyperhidrosis Treatment (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin treatment for excessive sweating (primary hyperhidrosis) of the underarms, palms or soles. At Botox Brno plastic surgeon MUDr. Tomáš Kubek injects botulinum toxin into the affected area to block the nerve signals that trigger the sweat glands, reducing or stopping sweat production in the treated region. The price covers 100 units of botulinum toxin, and the effect typically begins within about three days.

Hyperhidrosis treatment uses botulinum toxin to interrupt the nerve signals that drive overactive sweat glands. Injected into the skin of an affected region — most often both underarms, but also the palms or the soles — the toxin binds to the presynaptic nerve membrane and prevents the release of acetylcholine, which would otherwise stimulate the sweat glands. With that stimulation blocked, sweat production in the treated area is markedly reduced or halted. At Botox Brno the treatment is performed by plastic surgeon MUDr. Tomáš Kubek, Ph.D.; the price of 8,500 Kč covers 100 units of botulinum toxin, enough to treat one region. The injection session is short, comparable in time to a wrinkle treatment, and uses a fine needle across a grid of small injection points in the affected area. The effect is not immediate — it usually begins to develop within about three days and then continues to build — and it is temporary, gradually wearing off as nerve transmission restores; the practice recommends repeating no sooner than four months. Aftercare is straightforward but specific to the region: on the day of treatment avoid intense physical exertion, the sauna, steam and the solarium, and keep the treated area at rest. After underarm treatment, postpone hair removal in the area for seventy-two hours. After palm or sole treatment, minimise loading the area for six hours; a mild, temporary weakness of grip or muscle strength is possible for up to two weeks but does not affect walking. The treatment suits adults troubled by excessive underarm, palm or sole sweating who want a reliable, non-surgical option; suitability and any contraindications are reviewed by the doctor beforehand.
