Hyperhidrosis treatment at OpenMed Warsaw and Płock
Excessive sweating can interfere with daily life much more than people often realise. Wet hands at work, sweat stains on clothing or discomfort in social situations affect not only convenience, but also self-confidence and quality of life. If you struggle with excessive sweating, we invite you to OpenMed in Warsaw and Płock. Our specialists will help find the cause of the problem and select hyperhidrosis treatment tailored to the type of issue and its severity.
Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which the sweat glands produce more sweat than the body needs to regulate its temperature. The problem can be primary or secondary. Primary hyperhidrosis usually appears without an identifiable general illness and most often affects the hands, feet, armpits or face. Secondary hyperhidrosis develops in the course of other conditions, such as hormonal disorders, thyroid disease, diabetes or infections, which is why proper diagnostics is of key importance before starting therapy.
Causes and symptoms of hyperhidrosis
The symptom of hyperhidrosis is excessive sweat secretion that appears regardless of ambient temperature or physical activity. In some patients the problem intensifies under stress or emotion, but it can also occur at rest. Most often hyperhidrosis affects the armpits, hands, feet or the area of the face and scalp.
The most common causes of hyperhidrosis include genetic predisposition, excessive activity of the sympathetic nervous system and coexisting conditions. Excessive sweating may lead to skin irritation, increased susceptibility to infection and clear psychological discomfort. That is why treatment is not solely a matter of aesthetics, but often genuinely improves daily functioning.

What does a hyperhidrosis consultation at OpenMed look like?
The consultation begins with a thorough medical interview. Our doctors ask about the location of the problem, duration of symptoms, aggravating factors and previous treatment. An important part of the visit is also assessing whether the hyperhidrosis is primary or may be a symptom of another illness requiring further diagnostics.
If necessary, OpenMed specialists may recommend additional laboratory tests or specialist consultations. The goal is not only to reduce symptoms, but also to rule out systemic causes that might require separate treatment.
Hyperhidrosis treatment at OpenMed Warsaw and Płock
The treatment method is selected individually, depending on the location of the problem and the severity of symptoms. In the case of localised hyperhidrosis, one of the most commonly used methods is botulinum toxin treatment, which temporarily blocks the transmission of impulses to the sweat glands and reduces sweat secretion.
Hyperhidrosis treatment may include:
- botulinum toxin therapy in the armpit, hand or foot area,
- topical treatment and preparations limiting sweat secretion,
- diagnosis and treatment of coexisting conditions that may worsen symptoms,
- recommendations regarding skin care and daily functioning.
The procedures are performed on an outpatient basis and usually do not require recovery time. Our doctors discuss the expected effects of therapy, how long the action persists and possible side effects.
