In case of excessive sweating, underlying internal diseases are ruled out using precise anamnesis and laboratory diagnostics. In addition to drug therapy, botulinum toxin treatment and the removal of sweat glands are readily available methods of treating hyperhidrosis.
In the botulinum toxin treatment process, the toxin is injected subcutaneously into the armpits using a fine needle. Thus, sweat production is blocked for about six months with absolutely no risk.
Curretage is another way of successfully treating axillary hyperhidrosis. Here, the sweat glands are removed under local anaesthetic with the help of a fine cannula.
