Hyperhidrosis Treatment (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injected into the skin to reduce excessive sweating, most often in the underarms. The toxin temporarily blocks the nerve signals that switch on sweat glands, which is associated with markedly drier skin for several months. The clinic offers the treatment for both women and men, performed by a physician after assessing the area, and it is a practical option for sweating that does not respond to antiperspirants.

Treatment of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) with botulinum toxin works by temporarily interrupting the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands in the treated area. With those signals reduced, local sweat production drops considerably, which is associated with relief that typically lasts several months before gradually wearing off. The underarms are the most commonly treated area at the clinic of dr Katarzyna Wojtarowicz, with pricing set separately for women and men. At the appointment the area is cleansed and a grid of small injections is placed just under the skin; numbing or cooling can be used for comfort, and the procedure usually takes around twenty to forty minutes. There is little downtime — you can return to normal activities the same day, avoiding intense exercise and heat for the rest of that day. The effect is not immediate: sweating usually decreases over several days to two weeks and is then commonly associated with a duration of around four to six months, after which the treatment can be repeated. It is suited to adults whose underarm sweating is not adequately controlled by strong antiperspirants and who want a reliable, if temporary, reduction. The doctor reviews suitability and contraindications first, and it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
