Health Considerations

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating that goes beyond what’s necessary to regulate body temperature. It can affect various parts of the body, most commonly the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)handsfeetface, and scalp. This sweating can be unpredictable—occurring even when the person is at rest, in cool environments, or without any obvious triggers.

There are two main types:

  • Primary Hyperhidrosis: This is the most common form and usually begins in adolescence or early adulthood. It often affects specific areas (e.g. underarms or palms) and is not linked to any underlying medical condition.

  • Secondary Hyperhidrosis: This type is caused by an underlying medical condition (e.g. thyroid issues, diabetes, infections) or certain medications. It often results in more generalised sweating.

Procedure Details

Before treatment, a thorough medical consultation is carried out to confirm that the sweating is consistent with primary hyperhidrosis and to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you. Using a very fine needle, multiple small injections of Botulinum Toxin A are administered just beneath the skin. The injections target the sweat glands and temporarily block the nerve signals responsible for sweat production.

Addressing Aesthetic Goals

Hyperhidrosis can significantly affect daily activities, personal relationships, and emotional wellbeing. People often feel embarrassed, socially anxious, or restricted in their clothing choices due to sweat patches or clammy hands.  At Nu Youth Medical Aesthetics, we offer Botulinum Toxin A as a safe, non-surgical, and highly effective treatment for primary hyperhidrosis. With precise injections, we can target overactive sweat glands to significantly reduce sweating for several months at a time.

Aftercare and Recovery

Discomfort is minimal. Most patients describe the sensation as a series of small pinpricks. A topical numbing cream or cold air can be used to enhance comfort.

There is no significant downtime. You can return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment, although it is advised to avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot showers for 24 hours.

Pricing and Consultation

During the consultation, we will discuss your specific medical goals, assess your anatomy, and provide you with the best options. Hyperhidrosis is priced from €500
