Hyperhidrosis - treatment with BTX
Excessive sweating can complicate everyday situations – from work meetings to social events. Hyperhidrosis is not only a physical burden, but often affects the psyche and self-confidence. At Hello Beauty Clinic, we offer a solution in the form of BTX applications, which effectively and safely reduce sweating. Find out how this simple procedure can give you back control over your life.
Hyperhidrosis – a complication of everyday life
Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a medical condition that affects millions of people worldwide and significantly limits their daily lives. Unlike normal sweating, which the body uses to regulate temperature during heat or physical activity, hyperhidrosis causes excessive sweat production that exceeds these natural needs. Whether it is constantly damp palms that make it difficult to shake hands, visible stains on clothing in the armpits or other parts of the body, or an unpleasant feeling of dampness on the feet, hyperhidrosis can significantly impair quality of life and lead to feelings of insecurity. It is estimated that approximately 2-3% of the population suffers from this problem, while many struggle with it in silence - the social stigma associated with excessive sweating.
Hyperhidrosis most often manifests itself in areas with a high concentration of sweat glands, such as the armpits, palms, soles or face. These areas can be constantly moist, making it difficult to perform everyday activities such as wearing tight clothing, writing, holding objects, or even social interactions. Unlike normal sweating, which is usually a response to heat, physical exertion, or stress, hyperhidrosis often occurs without an obvious trigger, such as in cold environments, during rest, or in situations that would not normally cause sweating. This unpredictable nature increases frustration and can lead to feelings of embarrassment, insecurity, or social isolation.
People with hyperhidrosis often face everyday challenges that healthy people take for granted. For example, when choosing clothing, they often reach for dark or loose-fitting pieces to hide sweat stains. Social situations such as work meetings, dates, or public speaking can be anxiety-provoking due to concerns about being visibly sweaty. Moist palms can make everyday interactions, such as shaking hands, more awkward and lower self-esteem, especially in professional settings where first impressions are key. Sweaty feet can make shoes uncomfortable, smell bad, or even increase the risk of skin problems like fungus. Excessive sweating on the face can make it difficult to wear makeup or glasses, which can be frustrating.
The psychological impact of hyperhidrosis is significant. Many people describe how the constant struggle to hide their sweating affects their mental well-being. Fear of being discovered can lead to avoiding social events, limiting physical activities like sports or dancing, or even becoming withdrawn and socially isolated. In the long term, these problems can damage self-esteem and sometimes even contribute to anxiety or depression. Sweating is often associated with a social stigma that makes people hesitant to seek help – they fear embarrassment or feel that their problem is not serious enough. However, hyperhidrosis is a real health problem that deserves professional care and understanding.
How BTX fights excessive sweating
BTX is known in aesthetic medicine primarily for its ability to smooth wrinkles, but it is also effective in treating excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis. This substance offers a modern and effective solution for people who suffer from unpleasant sweating, whether in the armpits, palms, feet, face, or other parts of the body. BTX works by temporarily blocking nerve impulses that stimulate sweat glands to produce sweat. This mechanism specifically reduces sweating in the treated area without disrupting the body's natural thermoregulation in other parts, ensuring safety and comfort.
The effect of eliminating sweating is temporary, as the body gradually restores nerve connections, but due to its long-term duration (6-12 months), BTX is one of the most effective minimally invasive methods of treating hyperhidrosis.
At Hello Beauty Clinic, we perform this procedure with maximum precision and care so that clients achieve optimal results. BTX is administered via several small injections with a thin needle directly into the skin in problem areas such as the armpits, back, palms, soles, or other areas. The procedure is quick, usually lasting 10-15 minutes, and is almost painless thanks to the use of local anesthesia.
The effects of BTX are usually apparent within a few days of application, when clients begin to notice a significant reduction in sweating. This effect brings them long-term relief and greater freedom in everyday life. The results last for 6-12 months, depending on the individual reaction of the body and the treated area. After this time, the procedure can be safely repeated to maintain the desired effect. Thanks to its long-term effect, BTX is an ideal choice for those looking for a reliable solution without the need for frequent clinic visits.
Key advantages of BTX include its minimally invasive nature and minimal recovery. After the procedure, clients can return to normal activities immediately, with the only recommendation being to avoid intense physical activity, sauna or solarium for 24-48 hours to ensure optimal absorption of the substance. Side effects such as temporary redness or mild sensitivity at the injection site are rare and disappear quickly. At our clinic, we emphasize safety and comfort, making the procedure not only effective, but also an almost pleasant experience.
How the procedure is done
- Individual consultation - Each treatment begins with a thorough consultation, during which the doctor will assess your condition and determine the most appropriate course of action.
- Preparation and anesthesia - Before BTX is applied, the treated area is numbed with a cooling gel or anesthetic ointment to make the procedure as uncomfortable as possible.
- BTX application - Using a thin needle, small doses of BTX are injected into the skin, targeting the nerves responsible for sweating.
- After the procedure - You can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure. We recommend avoiding intense physical activity or hot environments for 24-48 hours.
How BTX differs from other hyperhidrosis treatments
There are several ways to manage excessive sweating, but BTX application clearly stands out due to its high effectiveness, convenience, and minimal invasiveness. While other methods may offer some relief, they often come with limitations that reduce their practicality. BTX, on the other hand, provides a targeted, long-term solution that is ideal for those looking for an effective way to gain control over their hyperhidrosis.
- Strong antiperspirants: These products contain aluminum salts that temporarily block the sweat glands. While they can be helpful for mild cases of sweating, they are often not enough for more severe hyperhidrosis. Additionally, their frequent use can lead to skin irritation, especially in sensitive individuals, and the effect is only short-lived, requiring daily application.
- Oral medications: Anticholinergic medications can reduce sweating by affecting the nervous system, but their use is associated with numerous side effects, such as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, or drowsiness. These adverse reactions often discourage patients from long-term use - in addition, the medications are not targeted, which means that they affect the entire body, not just the problem areas.
- Surgical procedures: These methods involve cutting the nerves that control the activity of the sweat glands. Since it is an invasive intervention, it carries significant risks - for example, so-called compensatory sweating, when sweat begins to form on other parts of the body, such as the back or abdomen. This irreversible procedure is usually recommended only in extreme cases, when all other options have failed.
In contrast to these methods, BTX applications offer a targeted solution with minimal risks and high effectiveness. The application acts directly on the treated area, ensuring that other parts of the body remain unaffected. The BTX application itself is quick and does not require any long preparation or recovery. Side effects such as temporary sensitivity, minor bruising or slight redness at the injection site are rare and usually disappear within a few days. In addition, at Hello Beauty Clinic we emphasize an individual approach, thanks to which each procedure is carefully tailored to the client's needs to achieve the best possible results.
Who Can Have Sweat Removal
BTX sweat removal is an ideal solution for most adults who struggle with excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis, and who desire a minimally invasive and highly effective way to manage this problem. This procedure is particularly suitable for individuals whose lifestyles are affected by hyperhidrosis, whether they are professionals who need to appear confident in work meetings or active people who want to play sports or participate in social activities without fear. Ideal candidates include those who are looking for a simple procedure that offers quick results and results that last for many months, minimizing the need for frequent clinic visits. Sweat removal is also a great option for those who want a personalized treatment tailored to their specific needs for maximum comfort.
However, the procedure is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with certain neurological disorders, or those who are hypersensitive to the ingredients of BTX. At Hello Beauty Clinic, we therefore place great emphasis on the initial consultation, during which our doctor, MUDr. Eva Boháčová, will carefully assess the health status and lifestyle of each client to ensure that the treatment will be safe and fully meet their expectations.
