Axillary hyperhidrosis treatment

Axillary hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating at the level of the armpits, which exceeds the normal needs of the body for temperature regulation. This problem can occur independently of temperature or physical effort and can have a significant impact on daily activities and personal comfort.

Excessive sweating can have multiple causes, including genetic factors, overactivity of the sweat glands, or certain imbalances of the autonomic nervous system.

In modern dermatological medicine, there are effective solutions for controlling axillary hyperhidrosis. Treatment can contribute to reducing the activity of sweat glands and controlling excessive sweating for an extended period.

During the medical consultation, the physician evaluates the severity of hyperhidrosis 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 axillary level

The treatment is performed by injecting botulinum toxin at the level of the armpits, and the effect can last, on average, between 4 and 6 months.
