Anti-sweat therapy

In anti-sweat treatment, the medication B-tox is injected locally into the affected areas of the body. The effect of B-tox is to prevent the sweat glands from producing sweat. As a result of the injection, the sweat glands regress and therefore produce less or no more sweat.

The effect of hyperhidrosis therapy usually sets in within 2-4 days and lasts for around 6-12 months. After that, the treatment can be repeated to maintain the effect.

There are a few important points to bear in mind for anti-sweat therapy with B-tox®. The treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic to ensure maximum comfort and minimum pain. We use one of the thinnest needles in the world and a high-quality solution. This avoids the burning sensation of the injection. The treatment takes about 30 minutes and the full effect is felt after about 14 days. During this time, activities that promote sweating should be avoided in order to achieve the best possible result. Patients can usually resume their normal activities immediately. It is important to note that anti-sweat therapy with B-tox® is a temporary solution and the duration of effect varies depending on the dose. However, the effect usually lasts for about six months before re-treatment is required.

The effect of anti-sweat therapy with B-tox® depends on various factors, such as the severity of the hyperhidrosis, the dose injected and the individual's physical characteristics. In patients with hyperhidrosis, the effect of the treatment usually lasts for about six months. In patients without hyperhidrosis, the effect can last up to a year or more. If the effect of the B-tox® wears off, the treatment can be repeated to achieve a lasting reduction in perspiration. However, it should be noted that the sweat glands may become accustomed to the treatment over time and the effectiveness of the treatment may decrease. However, regular treatments can help the sweat glands to recede almost completely and the interval between treatments can be extended. This treatment may therefore also be suitable for patients who do not suffer from hyperhidrosis but still find excessive sweating in certain areas of the body unpleasant. Our experienced doctors will be happy to advise you in detail on the individual options and chances of success of anti-sweat therapy with B-tox® and work with you to find the right treatment.

Anti-sweat therapy with B-tox® is generally very safe and has few side effects. Shortly after treatment, there may be temporary redness and swelling at the injection sites. In rare cases, haematomas may occur, but these are also usually only temporary. It is important that the treatment is carried out by an experienced and qualified doctor to minimise the risk of complications. The doctor will also provide you with detailed post-treatment care instructions to further reduce the risk of side effects. Overall, anti-sweat therapy with B-tox® is a safe and effective option for treating excessive sweating.
