Treatment areas

Armpits (axillary hyperhidrosis)

The most common form of excessive sweating affects the armpits. Visible sweat patches on clothing and unpleasant odours are a thing of the past after treatment. Ideal for anyone who suffers from heavy underarm sweating.

Hands (palmar hyperhidrosis)

Do you have sweaty hands when shaking hands, at work or in your private life? Treating your hands allows you to enjoy carefree social contact and greater confi­dence in your profes­sional life. Parti­cu­larly effective for chronic sweating of the palms.

Feet (plantar hyperhidrosis)

Excessive sweating of the feet often leads to unpleasant odours and skin problems. Our treatment reduces sweat production in the long term and ensures that your feet feel comfor­table in your shoes.

What is hyper­hi­drosis treatment?

Hyper­hi­drosis refers to a malfunction of the sweat glands, in which sweat production far exceeds the amount necessary for heat regulation. While sweating is a natural and vital process for cooling the body, people with hyper­hi­drosis produce excessive amounts of sweat – regardless of tempe­rature or physical activity.

The hyper­hi­drosis treatment at Aesthetics Medical in Zurich is based on a proven injection therapy with a special active ingre­dient that speci­fi­cally inter­rupts the commu­ni­cation between nerve cells and sweat glands. The active ingre­dient inhibits the release of acetyl­choline, a neuro­trans­mitter that stimu­lates the sweat glands to become active. This signi­fi­cantly reduces sweat production in the treated areas without affecting the natural heat regulation of the entire body.

The treatment is considered one of the most effective and safest methods for treating excessive sweating. It has been used successfully in aesthetic medicine for years and offers those affected a lasting impro­vement in their quality of life. Unlike antiper­spi­rants or other topical treat­ments, the injection acts directly on the cause and offers a long-lasting solution for several months.

The method has proven parti­cu­larly effective for axillary hyper­hi­drosis (underarm sweating), but it also shows excellent results for excessive sweating on the hands and feet. The treatment is minimally invasive, performed on an outpa­tient basis and allows patients to return to their daily routine immediately.

Hyper­hi­drosis treatment procedure

1. Initial consul­tation and medical history

During a personal consul­tation with our specialist, we will analyse the extent of your hyper­hi­drosis and discuss your expec­ta­tions. We will provide you with compre­hensive infor­mation about the treatment method, the expected results and possible side effects. We will also check for any possible contra­in­di­ca­tions, such as the use of blood thinners or certain antibiotics.

2. Prepa­ration

The skin area to be treated is thoroughly disin­fected. If necessary, an anaes­thetic cream can be applied to make the treatment even more comfortable.

3. Injection treatment

The specia­lised active ingre­dient is injected into the affected areas using parti­cu­larly thin needles. The injec­tions are made at intervals of a few milli­metres to achieve an even effect. For the armpits, around 15-20 injection points are made on each side, with more for the hands and feet. The treatment is only minimally noticeable.

4. Follow-up

After the treatment, you will receive detailed recom­men­da­tions on how to behave for the next 24 hours. You should refrain from sports and strenuous physical activity on the day of treatment. Otherwise, you can resume your normal activities immediately.

5. Follow-up check (optional)

After 2-4 weeks, we offer an optional follow-up exami­nation to check the success of the treatment and to administer follow-up injec­tions if necessary.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

The effect usually sets in after 2–7 days. Most patients notice the maximum effect after 1–2 weeks. In rare cases, it may take a little longer for the full effect to be achieved.

The treatment causes only minimal discomfort. We use parti­cu­larly thin needles, so the injec­tions are barely noticeable. If necessary, we can apply an anaes­thetic cream beforehand to make the treatment even more comfortable.

The effect lasts for an average of 4-6 months. The exact duration can vary from person to person and depends on various factors such as metabolism, sweat gland activity and the area treated. If the effect wears off, the treatment can be repeated without any problems.

Hyper­hi­drosis treatment is parti­cu­larly suitable for the underarms, hands and feet – the three most common problem areas. For other areas of the body, we will be happy to advise you indivi­dually on alter­native treatment options.

No, you can resume your normal daily routine immediately after treatment. We only recommend that you refrain from sports and intense physical activity on the day of treatment. You will be socially presen­table immediately.

Blood thinners such as aspirin, vitamin E supple­ments or omega-3 fatty acids increase the risk of bruising at the injection sites. Ideally, these should be discon­tinued a few days before treatment. Please discuss this with your doctor in advance.

No. The treated areas only make up a small part of the total body surface area. Your body can still regulate its tempe­rature normally. Sweating in other, untreated areas remains unchanged.

The most common side effects are slight redness, swelling or small bruises at the injection sites, which subside on their own after a few days. Serious compli­ca­tions are extremely rare when performed correctly.

In most cases, a single treatment is suffi­cient for an effect lasting 4-6 months. The treatment can then be repeated if necessary. Over time, some patients report a longer duration of effect with repeat treatments.

Other treatment options include antiper­spi­rants, ionto­pho­resis, systemic medication or, in severe cases, surgical proce­dures. However, injection therapy is considered to be parti­cu­larly effective, minimally invasive and with few side effects. We would be happy to advise you on all available options.
