Plantar hyperhidrosis treatment

Plantar hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating at the level of the soles, which exceeds the normal needs of the body for temperature regulation. This problem can occur even in the absence of physical effort or elevated temperatures and can have a significant impact on daily comfort.

Excessive sweating at the plantar level can be influenced by genetic factors, hyperactivity of the sweat glands, or certain mechanisms of the autonomic nervous system. In some cases, hyperhidrosis can promote the appearance of skin irritations or fungal infections at the level of the skin.

In modern dermatological medicine, there are effective treatments that can contribute to reducing excessive sweating and improving patient comfort.

During the medical consultation, the physician evaluates the severity of hyperhidrosis, skin characteristics, and the patient's medical history. Based on this evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is established, adapted to the needs of each patient.

Treatment available in the clinic:

• Botulinum toxin (Botox) – procedure used to temporarily block the activity of sweat glands, contributing to the reduction of excessive sweating at the level of the soles

The treatment consists of injecting botulinum toxin into the affected areas, and the effect can last, on average, between 4 and 6 months.
