Hyperhidrosis Treatment with Botulinum Toxin (Botox®)
Hyperhidrosis describes excessive sweating, where stimuli such as heat, increased temperature, or physical activity trigger a significantly heightened sweating response. The armpits are particularly affected, but hands, feet, or the forehead can also be involved. This can be very distressing and can significantly impact personal well-being and quality of life.
Through targeted treatment with botulinum toxin (Botox®), the activity of sweat glands in the affected areas can be reduced. The treatment is performed locally and tailored individually.
