For those affected by hyperhidrosis, this often means enormous suffering, social insecurity and restrictions in everyday life. The good news is that modern aesthetic medicine offers highly effective and gentle solutions. As an expert in minimally invasive therapies, I will be happy to inform you about the possibilities of professional treatment. Hyperhidrosis treatment.
What is hyperhidrosis and why does it occur?
In hyperhidrosis, the sweat glands work at full speed without there being a physiological need. A medical distinction is made between two forms:
- Primary hyperhidrosis: The cause is usually genetic. Excessive sweat production occurs focally, usually on the armpits (hyperhidrosis axillaris), hands or feet.
- Secondary hyperhidrosis: This form occurs as a concomitant symptom of another underlying disease or as a side effect of medication.
In our practice we concentrate on the effective symptomatic treatment of Hyperhidrosis treatment the primary form to give you back quality of life quickly and for a long time.
The gold standard: injection therapy with muscle relaxants
While deodorants and special antiperspirants often only work for a short time or not at all, injection therapy with special muscle relaxants (known under the brand name Botox®) as the gold standard in the Hyperhidrosis treatment established. This method is safe, proven and minimally invasive.
How does the treatment work?
The active ingredient is injected specifically into the affected areas - usually the armpits. It blocks the transmission of stimuli from the nerve endings to the sweat glands. The „sweating“ signal simply no longer arrives. The glands almost completely cease their activity in the treated area.

Frequently asked questions about hyperhidrosis treatment (FAQ)
When does the effect occur after treatment?
The effect of the Hyperhidrosis treatment does not start immediately. You will usually notice the first results after 2 to 4 days. The full effect is achieved after around 10 to 14 days, when the blockade of the nerve signals to the sweat glands is fully established.
Is the treatment painful?
As we work with extremely fine needles, most patients only experience the injection as a slight prick. On request, we can apply a local anaesthetic ointment beforehand to make the treatment as painless and relaxed as possible for you.
Is there a risk of „replacement sweating“?
In contrast to surgical procedures (such as sweat gland suction or nerve transection), the risk of so-called compensatory sweating is minimised with injection therapy. As only a very limited area is treated, the body can easily regulate its temperature via the rest of the skin surface.
What do I have to consider after the treatment?
The Hyperhidrosis treatment does not require a longer downtime. We only recommend avoiding intensive sport, sauna visits and direct sunlight for approx. 24 to 48 hours. The use of deodorants in the treated area should also be avoided on the day of treatment.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes, in the hands of an experienced expert, the method is extremely safe. The active ingredient has been used in medicine for decades. As it is injected precisely into the skin layer of the sweat glands and does not reach deeper tissue layers, systemic side effects are extremely rare.
Why undergo hyperhidrosis treatment with an expert?
The anatomy of the armpits and the course of the nerve tracts require precise medical expertise. Improper application can lead to undesirable side effects or reduce effectiveness. In my surgeries in Vienna and Tulln, I rely on the highest medical standards and state-of-the-art techniques to ensure an optimal and safe result.
