Sweat gland reduction
Excessive sweating can affect your life significantly. If sweat glands are stimulated unintentionally the result is sweating without physical efforts or heat, which can affect the lives of people in a negative way. Hands, armpits and face are affected the most. A sweat gland reduction may help.

Botulinum toxin therapy
Botulinum toxin therapy is used for facial wrinkle treatments and in excessive sweating treatments as well. Here the medicinal product is injected in precise doses into the sweating zone.
This release of the nervous neurotransmitter in the affected area is inhibited and thus the over-stimulation of the sweat is then sedated. The skin is noticeably and visibly dry and it gives you more security in public. This method can be individually adjusted your personal needs.
Treatment
Treatment with botulinum toxin takes roughly about 15 minutes. Botulinum toxin injections are only a small prick. Normal activities, such as work and everyday life, can be performed immediately after treatment.
After treatment
In order to achieve the best results, massaging or rubbing of treated areas should be avoided within the first 24 hours (taking a shower is possible).
Any swelling and redness at the injection points disappear completely within a few hours after treatment. You can notice a botulinum toxin success in 5 – 14 days.
