Sweating—no thanks!
Heavy or early sweating can be a burden in everyday life—especially when clothing, deodorant, and showers reach their limits. Targeted botulinum treatment under the armpits can provide noticeable and long-lasting relief: sweat production is significantly reduced without affecting the body's temperature regulation.
Even those who do not sweat excessively but quickly develop odor in summer despite using deodorant, for example, can benefit: botulinum toxin prevents perspiration in the treated area—and often makes deodorant unnecessary. At our schön skincare Hamburg practice, we offer this treatment on an individual and discreet basis.
Advantages at a glance
- Significantly less sweating – often for 6–9 months
- Discreet, effective, no downtime
- No surgical intervention
- No visible traces – just more freedom

Put an end to constant sweating – botulinum to reduce perspiration in Hamburg
"I shower, I wear deodorant—and yet I often don't feel fresh."
Many people suffer from heavy or early onset sweating—often without any medically noticeable hyperhidrosis. Especially in summer, during stressful situations, or in meetings, it can be stressful when clothes become damp or odors develop—despite all your efforts to stay clean.
The good news: there is a simple, effective solution. Targeted botulinum treatment (under the armpits or on the hands/feet) inhibits perspiration exactly where it is a problem. Discreet, with no downtime—and with an effect that often lasts for 6–9 months. At schön skincare Hamburg, we rely on proven precision and experience.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Is this only permitted for pathological sweating?
No—treatment is also possible for situational sweating (e.g., summer, stress).
How quickly does it work?
The effect usually sets in within a few days, with the full effect after 1–2 weeks.
Will I no longer need deodorant?
In most cases: no. No sweat = no odor.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes—botulinum toxin has been used safely for decades, including in dermatology. Its effect is localized and reversible.
Side effects:
- Slight redness or swelling at the injection sites (short-term)
- In rare cases, small bruises
- No restriction of mobility or skin sensitivity
Treatment on the hands or feet may cause a brief feeling of tension, but this quickly subsides.
How does it work?
Botulinum is injected superficially into the skin—where the sweat glands are located. It blocks the nerve impulses that trigger sweat production for several months. The body continues to regulate its temperature—but no longer at the treated site.
This means:
- No "backup" or sweating in other areas
- No systemic effect
- Completely reversible effect – the glands remain intact
How does the treatment work?
Consultation & medical history
(iodine-starch test for localization, if necessary)
Disinfection & marking of the area
Injection with a fine needle
directly into the skin (several small pricks)
Ready in a few minutes
Bandage needed.
An anesthetic cream can be applied beforehand upon request. The treatment takes about 20 minutes—after that, you can go about your day as normal. At schön skincare Hamburg , we perform the treatment
routinely and with the utmost care.
When does it start working—and how long does it last?
- First effects noticeable after 2–4 days
- Full effect after 1–2 weeks
- Effect usually lasts 6 to 9 months, in some cases even longer
Many patients come in for a refresher treatment once or twice a year—whenever sweat production increases slightly again.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
Not only people diagnosed with hyperhidrosis benefit—also those who:
- Develops an odor quickly in summer (despite deodorant)
- quickly becomes "sweaty" when excited or hot
- regularly changes clothes due to sweat stains
- simply wants more security in everyday life
... can use botulinum to specifically combat sweating. Many even report that they no longer need deodorant after treatment—because there is simply nothing left that could smell.
How much does botulinum treatment for sweating cost?
The costs depend on the area treated and the amount of active ingredient required. Guidance:
armpits
(on both sides)
from $450
Hands or feet

We are happy to advise you individually and transparently—including on the question of whether your private health insurance will cover part of the costs (e.g., if you have been diagnosed with hyperhidrosis). During your consultation at schön skincare Hamburg, we will clarify this discreetly and individually.

What patients report
"I feel fresh all day long—even without deodorant."
"I never thought it would be so easy."
"That was my game changer this summer – no more sweating afterwards."
This feedback shows that it is often not the "excessive sweating" that is bothersome, but rather the unpleasant feeling of not being completely confident despite taking care of oneself. This is exactly where botulinum comes in.
