Botox against sweating - Don't let wet armpits stop you

Do you sweat like a waterfall even with minimal physical movement? Let’s be honest, even though it’s totally human to sweat, it can be quite uncomfortable if you sweat too much. Especially if you’re not actively exercising. The sweat stains and the constant trips to the toilet at work or in the evening with friends are becoming a burden and are simply a nuisance and feel totally annoying.

The cause of uncontrolled and excessive sweating is often the condition hyperhidrosis. Just under 2% of the population suffer from it.
The good news: Treatment with Botox can be just the right solution. The treatment method with the active ingredient botulinum toxin significantly reduces the activity of the sweat glands and eliminates uncontrolled sweating under the armpits.

Arrange a non-binding consultation with our doctors and look forward to fresh, sweat-free armpits all day long.

How exactly does Botox help against sweating?

Sweating is actually supposed to help the body keep its temperature in check and protect us from overheating. In the case of hyperhidrosis, however, sweat production is uncontrolled and excessive. Excessive sweating is caused by overactive sweat glands. The glands react too strongly to nervous signals and produce underarm sweat even when the body is not warmed up, e.g. through sport. The botulinum toxin acts on the nerve endings that are responsible for transmitting the signals for sweat production. The injection therefore blocks the transmission of signals to the glands and minimizes sweating. Botox therapy for hyperhidrosis is considered a safe treatment and has been carried out by highly qualified doctors and specialists at glowtox for years.

How do I know if I need treatment with Botox?

If you sweat under your armpits as if you have just run a marathon, even with minimal physical exertion, this is a possible indication of hyperhidrosis. Especially if you feel uncomfortable in social settings and are constantly struggling with excessive sweat patches under your arms. Treatment with Botox can be useful and bring you considerable relief and more self-confidence.

Our doctors will discuss your situation with you in detail and, if you have any, will be happy to clarify any questions you may have about the treatment and the end result. Your doctor will determine the correct dosage to effectively minimize the excessive production of sweat.

The injection is hardly noticeable for you and only takes 15-25 minutes.

7 days after the treatment, you will notice that your armpits remain significantly drier and sweating has decreased. You will notice the full effect after 2 weeks.

If required, we can offer you a free follow-up appointment two weeks after the injection to perfect your desired result. Here, our doctors will inject Botox again if you still feel a lot of wetness under your armpits.

FAQ

How does muscle relaxant help against excessive sweating?
Botox is a small miracle cure in many respects, not just for treating wrinkles. The active ingredient botulinum toxin acts on the nerves that are responsible for transmitting signals to the sweat glands. The injection therefore blocks the transmission of signals to the sweat glands and minimizes the production of sweat.
You will notice a clear change after just 2-4 days. The full effect of Botox unfolds after 3 weeks and you can look forward to dry armpits and less sweating!

Botox injections are effective for just under 3-4 months. After that, the signal transmission slowly resumes and sweat production increases again.

In short, the cost depends on two factors. Which zones you have treated with Botox and how many zones there are in total. The final price results from the fact that we add up the prices for the zones you decide on. Incidentally, the calculation is based on the official scale of fees for doctors (GOÄ) – which is transparent for you.
No, because we use very fine needles to inject the botulinum toxin. On request, we can apply an anesthetic cream before the treatment.
