Our botulinum toxin treatments for various areas
Hyperhidrosis can be generalised or localised. We tailor the treatment to the areas where your excessive sweating is most pronounced.
Axillary hyperhidrosis (underarm sweating)
The most common form of treatment. Botulinum toxin is injected superficially into the armpits, which very effectively stops underarm sweating and eliminates unpleasant odours.
Facial sweat and the scalp
Excessive sweating on the face at the slightest exertion is a common clinical problem. We can administer microdoses into the forehead, upper lip or hairline to effectively reduce facial sweating.
Gentle technology and medical precision
Injecting botulinum toxin to treat excessive sweating, particularly in the hands and face, requires considerable clinical experience. Our specialists use microscopically thin needles and precise doses to target only the sweat glands in the middle layer of the skin (dermis), without affecting the underlying muscles. This ensures a gentle and safe treatment.
A clinic full of expertise
Performing advanced injections to treat underarm sweating places high demands on the treating specialist’s understanding of anatomy. At The Faculty, you will meet specialists with extensive clinical experience. For us, your medical safety is always our top priority, and all treatment is carried out under strict, sterile conditions. We follow well-established medical protocols to ensure the highest level of safety for you as a patient.
Price of botulinum toxin treatment for hyperhidrosis
The exact cost of your treatment will be determined during a personal consultation, as it depends on the size of the area to be treated and the amount of botulinum toxin your skin requires.

Pre-treatment consultation
A successful clinical outcome always begins with a thorough consultation. Our specialists will diagnose hyperhidrosis based on your symptoms. It is important to rule out secondary hyperhidrosis; for example, if you sweat at night (nocturnal sweats) or sweat all over your body, this may be a symptom of an underlying condition that should be investigated by a GP first.
After the consultation, you have a statutory cooling-off period of at least 48 hours (which applies to aesthetic injection treatments) to allow you to decide in your own time whether you wish to give your consent.
How does the treatment work?
Step by step
To ensure the highest standards of medical care, we follow a carefully designed clinical process for sweat treatment.
Preparations
Preparing for a safe operation
The area is thoroughly disinfected with chlorhexidine. Anaesthesia is rarely required in the armpits.
The treatment
Safe care at the clinic
The practitioner uses a microscopically thin needle to inject small, superficial doses of botulinum toxin at intervals of approximately 1–2 centimetres across the entire sweaty area.
Recovery & healing
Self-care and convalescence guidelines
You can resume your normal daily activities straight away, but you should avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths and saunas for the first 48 hours to allow the medication time to bind to the nerve endings. You should avoid using deodorant for the first 24 hours.
Monitoring & results
Medical check-up and final assessment
If necessary, we offer a follow-up appointment after 14 days to ensure that sweating has stopped across the entire treated area.
Our specialists in injections
At The Faculty, we prioritise medical expertise above all else. All botulinum toxin treatments for excessive sweating are carried out exclusively by registered doctors and registered injection nurses with extensive clinical experience. Injecting medication for hyperhidrosis requires great precision to ensure that only the sweat glands are affected and that the surrounding nerves and muscles remain intact.
Who can undergo the treatment?
To undergo treatment with botulinum toxin, you must be over 18 years of age. We therefore do not treat hyperhidrosis in children or teenagers under the age of 18. You must be in good general health and must not be pregnant or breastfeeding. We only treat patients with primary hyperhidrosis; conditions caused by general medical illnesses must be investigated and managed by the National Health Service.
Our clinics
The Faculty combines medical safety with a welcoming environment. Our state-of-the-art clinic at Hangövägen 20 is one of the few plastic surgery clinics in Sweden that is built to proper hospital standards. For skin care and injection treatments, you are welcome to visit our walk-in clinic at Humlegårdsgatan 14 in central Stockholm. All operations are based on medical expertise and proven experience to offer a safe process from the first visit to the last follow-up.
Payment guarantee and insurance
Your safety is our priority. Your price includes a consultation (upon completion of treatment) and a follow-up appointment. As a healthcare provider registered with IVO, you are covered by patient insurance. We work exclusively with the market’s most well-documented, CE-marked and FDA-approved hyaluronic acids.
Articles & news
Frequently asked questions about botulinum toxin treatments
Here we have compiled some frequently asked questions about the treatment of hyperhidrosis
What causes excessive underarm sweating?
Primary hyperhidrosis is largely hereditary and is caused by the nerves that control the eccrine sweat glands sending overactive signals, even though the body does not need to cool down. It is often triggered by stress or heat, but can also occur at complete rest.
How can you stop sweating under your arms?
Superficial methods such as antiperspirants or iontophoresis rarely help with severe symptoms. Botulinum toxin injections are currently the most effective non-surgical treatment for actually blocking the sweat glands and eliminating underarm sweating for a prolonged period.
Is there a treatment for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)?
In the public healthcare system, anticholinergic tablets (medicines such as Ditropan) are sometimes used to treat generalised hyperhidrosis. However, these affect the whole body and often cause severe systemic side effects, such as extreme dry mouth. At The Faculty, we work exclusively with local injections (botulinum toxin) to target the treatment precisely where the problem lies, without affecting the rest of the body.
Can sweat glands be surgically removed?
In the past, operations were performed to cauterise the sympathetic nerves in the chest in order to stop sweaty palms, but due to the risk of severe compensatory sweating (anhidrosis in one area and excessive sweating in another), this is now very rare. Botulinum toxin is a reversible, extremely safe and gentle method compared to surgery.
