Hyperhidrosis Botox in Istanbul

Hyperhidrosis is sweating that is greater than the body needs for temperature control. When it affects daily life, clothing choices, work or social confidence, a medical assessment can help distinguish primary sweating from an underlying cause.

Botulinum toxin injections can temporarily reduce signalling to selected sweat glands. At our clinic in Uskudar, Istanbul, treatment is considered only after the pattern, severity and previous management have been reviewed.

What Is Hyperhidrosis Botox?

Botulinum toxin blocks the local nerve signal that activates sweat glands in the treated area. It does not remove the glands and it does not treat every cause of excessive sweating.

Evidence and product authorisations are strongest for severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis when topical treatment has not been sufficient. Other areas require separate assessment and may have different evidence, dosing and risk considerations.

Who Is It Suitable For?

Suitability is confirmed through an individual medical assessment. Treatment may be considered for:

• Adults with persistent, bilateral underarm sweating that interferes with daily life
• Patients whose symptoms have not improved enough with appropriate topical options
• People without a suspected untreated medical cause of secondary sweating

Medical Assessment and Treatment Planning

The consultation reviews onset, distribution, medicines, medical history and symptoms such as night sweats, fever or unexplained weight change. These findings may indicate that further medical evaluation is more important than injection treatment.

The treatment area is mapped and the dose is planned according to anatomy and the authorised product protocol.

What Happens During Treatment?

The skin is cleaned and a series of small superficial injections is placed across the mapped area. The appointment is usually brief; temporary stinging or small raised points can occur.

Expected Results and Timeline

Sweating usually begins to reduce over the following days, with the response assessed after the early treatment period. The effect is temporary and repeat treatment is considered only after the benefit has worn off and suitability is reviewed again.

Downtime and Recovery

Most patients return to normal daily activities on the same day. Mild tenderness, pinpoint marks or bruising may be visible for a short time.

Possible Side Effects and Limitations

No medical aesthetic treatment is risk-free. Possible effects and limitations include:

• Temporary pain, bruising, swelling or headache
• Incomplete or uneven reduction in sweating
• Compensatory awareness of sweating elsewhere
• Temporary weakness when treatment is placed near muscles
• Rare allergic or systemic reactions associated with botulinum toxin products

Aftercare

Avoid rubbing the area and follow the product-specific activity guidance given at the appointment. Contact the clinic if you develop marked weakness, difficulty swallowing or breathing, a widespread reaction, or any unexpected symptom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it stop all sweating?

No. The aim is a meaningful reduction in the treated area, not eliminating the body’s normal ability to regulate temperature.

Is the result permanent?

No. Nerve signalling gradually returns and the duration varies between individuals.

Can every type of sweating be treated this way?

No. New, generalised or night-time sweating may require investigation for an underlying cause.
