Symptoms
We discuss the onset, severity, areas and impact of the problem on daily functioning.
Comfort/Excessive sweating
More freedom.
Less self-conscious.
Excessive sweating can have a real impact on your everyday life. After ruling out contraindications, the doctor may consider a local procedure that limits the activity of the sweat glands.

01 / CONCERN
When physiology
When physiology
limits everyday life.
Sweating is a natural thermoregulation mechanism. We talk about excessive sweating when its intensity is disproportionate to the conditions and becomes a source of discomfort.
Before deciding on the procedure, an interview is needed. In some situations, it may be necessary to exclude diseases or medications that cause sweating.
COMFORT WITHOUT STIGMAThis is not
This is not
“just sweat.”
Excessive sweating can affect clothing, touch, work and relationships. Talking about it requires discretion, and treatment requires distinguishing local hyperhidrosis from a symptom that should be diagnosed more broadly.
First the reason and qualification. Only then the procedure.
02 / CONSULTATION
Not just the area.
Not just the area.
Also the reason.
Health
We collect information about diseases, medications and symptoms that may require further diagnosis.
Scope
If the procedure is indicated, the doctor determines the area, cost and recommendations.
03 / PROCEDURE
Planned point by point.
Map of the area
The doctor determines the area requiring treatment.
Administration of the preparation
The preparation is administered locally at planned points.
Inspection and recommendations
The patient receives information about the expected course and situations requiring contact.
What is hyperhidrosis?
Sweating protects the body from overheating. The problem occurs when its severity is inappropriate to the temperature or effort and begins to interfere with work, relationships, choosing clothes or ordinary daily activities.
The patient may notice constantly damp clothes, difficulty keeping hands dry, or the need to change clothes frequently. We assess not only the area itself, but also the duration, triggering situations and impact on life.
Primary and secondary hyperhidrosis.
Excessive sweating may be primary, but it may also accompany diseases, hormonal changes, infections or the use of certain medications. Generalized sweating, nocturnal sweating, sudden onset or combined with other symptoms requires special attention.
In such situations, the priority is not an aesthetic procedure, but an assessment of the possible cause and a possible referral to an appropriate doctor.
What do we ask before the procedure?
The interview includes the onset and severity of symptoms, occurrence of the problem in the family, diseases, medications, pregnancy and breastfeeding, previous therapies and expectations. Dr Małgorzata Osikowicz also assesses the size of the area and whether the procedure is proportional to the problem.
The patient should know that the goal is not to completely stop the physiological thermoregulation of the entire body, but to treat it locally in the qualified area.
How does the toxin affect sweating?
After local administration, the preparation limits the signal stimulating selected sweat glands. The effect develops gradually and is temporary. The exact course, timing of assessment, and possible follow-up depend on the area and protocol.
Before the procedure, possible local reactions, the impact on the function of the area and situations requiring contact with the office are discussed.
Approach to treatment
The treatment is intended to restore comfort, but first you need to make sure that you are not covering up an important symptom.
Excessive sweating
The final price depends on the area and scope of the procedure.
05 / PRACTICALLYFrom a discreet conversation
From a discreet conversation
to the control plan.
Before the visit, it is worth observing when sweating is the strongest, whether it occurs during sleep and whether it appeared suddenly.
Before the consultation
Write down your medications, illnesses, previous treatments, and areas that most impact your daily life.
After the procedure
You will receive individual recommendations regarding care, activity and the moment of assessment of the developing effect.
When to react
Unusual weakness, severe symptoms or a reaction that causes concern are indications to contact the office.
04 / SAFETY
Suitability assessment matters.
- New, sudden or generalized sweating may require diagnosis of the cause before surgery.
- Contraindications and possible side effects are discussed during the consultation.
- The effect and its duration are individual.

Does excessive sweating always require treatment?
No. First, you need to assess its nature, severity and possible causes.
Which areas can be considered for treatment?
The scope depends on the doctor's experience, indications and use of the preparation. We determine it during the consultation.
Is the result permanent?
The effect of the procedure is temporary and its course varies between patients.

from a good diagnosis.
