Hyperhidrosis Treatment (Excessive Sweating)

Botulinum toxin injected into the underarms, palms or soles to reduce excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. It is a well-established option for people whose sweating is not controlled by antiperspirants and affects daily comfort or confidence. The treatment is performed by a physician, and results generally last several months before a top-up is needed.

Hyperhidrosis treatment uses botulinum toxin to address excessive, troublesome sweating in a specific area — most often the underarms, but also the palms or soles. The toxin is injected just under the skin across the affected zone, where it temporarily interrupts the nerve signals that tell the sweat glands to activate. By calming that overactivity, the treatment is associated with a marked reduction in local sweating for a number of months. At Klinika LA Beauty the physician first confirms the area and, for the underarms, may use a simple method to map the most active zones. Many fine injections are placed across the area; the underarms are usually comfortable, while palms and soles are more sensitive and numbing or other comfort measures may be used. The treatment takes around twenty to thirty minutes and downtime is minimal. The effect typically begins within a few days to two weeks and is commonly maintained for several months, after which sweating gradually returns and the treatment can be repeated. It suits adults whose sweating is not adequately controlled by strong antiperspirants and who find it affects clothing, comfort or confidence. The physician reviews suitability and contraindications beforehand; as with other botulinum-toxin treatments, it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
