Treatment for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in Tirana

Hyperhidrosis is sweating beyond what the body needs to cool down. It often affects the underarms, palms or soles and can make everyday life difficult. Aura Medical Clinic in Tirana offers treatment with botulinum toxin (botox) by Dr. Denada Sherja, usually in one session.

How the treatment works

Botulinum toxin is injected into the skin and temporarily blocks the nerve signals that activate the sweat glands in the treated area. Sweating is reduced only where the treatment is given.

Before treatment

Excessive sweating can also have other causes, such as thyroid problems, infections or some medicines. When sweating affects the whole body or has started suddenly, the doctor may first recommend a medical assessment.

How the treatment is carried out

At the consultation, the area and your medical history are assessed. On the day of treatment, the area is cleaned and the product is injected with very fine needles at several points. One session is usually enough, and you can return to your activities the same day.

Who performs the treatment

The treatment is performed by Dr. Denada Sherja, a doctor and surgeon trained in aesthetic surgery. More about the team: Our team.

Safety and aftercare

Before treatment, tell the doctor about any neuromuscular diseases, medicines, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and infection in the area. After treatment there may be redness, tenderness or slight bruising. When the palms are treated, there may be temporary weakness in the hand.

Results

Sweating decreases within a few days to two weeks. The effect is temporary, and the treatment can be repeated when the effect wears off.

Price

The price depends on the area and the amount of product. Aura prepares an individual quote after the consultation.
