What our patients say
Are you unsure whether you should do a MiraDry treatment? DO IT!!! I thought about it for ages and was very scared. The anesthesia is strong, afterwards you feel nothing more of the treatment. The week after you feel like you have tennis balls under your arms, but this will pass and just not sweating anymore is incredible. Literally meant: unbelievable!!! My treatment was in Dec19 and I still can't believe it. Yes, I admit I still sweat a little from time to time, but no comparison at all with the past. This usually depends on the menstrual cycle. I still think today: now there's a mega big spot, then I look and see nothing! Anyone who suffers from hyperhidrosis should have the confidence to undergo the treatment. IT CHANGES YOUR LIFE! I wear colorful T-shirts, vests/jackets that fit tightly and I can raise my arms - all things that were not possible for ages without any problems. As I know how difficult it is to find out about this subject, I waited a long time before writing my review so that I could really share my experience. After 1.5 years I can now say: I would do it again in a heartbeat! Everyone in the DHHZ is super nice and funny, you feel very comfortable. In the pharmacy below you can buy cooling pads, which you need if you have a long journey home. I live over 2 hours away from Munich. A big THANK YOU to the team for a new attitude to life 🙂
A very nice doctor I can only recommend you to go to him if you have a problem with excessive sweating he will change your life. Everyone at the clinic is also very nice and takes good care of you Once again, a big thank you to Dr. Schick
I have turned to so many doctors to solve the permanent sweating of my mom no one could find out the cause of it the lady really suffered a lot thanks to Dr. Schick her burdens were lightened I thank Dr. Schick from the bottom of my heart ♥️ my mother always prays still for him he is a very good person and a very good doctor which unfortunately no longer exist in this day and age hetakes time to listen to solve the cause and the problem thanks again and to the super team of Dr. Schick you are simply great God bless you all.
The Axhidrox cream that I found via the DHHZ is worth its weight in gold. Fully effective for me with no side effects. Best development to date in my view. Thank you for the support of Dr. Schick and his team!
Initial consultation through to surgery for hyperhidrosis on the hands. Friendly and understanding treatment of me as a patient. Questions were always answered and I was always given individual time. I would do the surgery again and again! The attitude to life has increased 100%! Finally shake hands and touch things like normal people. Highly recommended! Many thanks again to the team and to Dr. Schick.
I am pleasantly surprised by the friendly and competent staff. I went there for a miraDry treatment and can say that I can really recommend the DHHZ. As a little tip, if no one is available by phone, write an e-mail and ask for a call back.
I can only recommend this team to anyone who has problems with hyperhidrosis! Starting with the super nice medical assistants up to Dr. Schick! Super nice, relaxed, answers all your questions and explains it to you clearly and with a calmness that takes away any tension. I can only recommend going there to anyone!
The surgery for my sweaty feet changed my life. Thank you for your great work!!!
The entire team is very warm and helpful. Dr. Schick is an experienced doctor who makes you feel that you are in good hands. E-mails are answered promptly or calls are returned. Satisfied all round 😊👍 …
I’m really speechless. Finally a doctor who knows about hyperhidrosis and explains each treatment / the exact process in the body that triggers sweating in an understandable way. I can only recommend it. It’s worth the long journey from the north. 😇 …

Erythrophobia - blushing
Excessive blushing can be eliminated with a high degree of probability. Either by conservative methods or, as a last resort, by surgery to block the nerve impulses responsible for the blushing. However, such an “endoscopic thoracic sympathetic block (ETS)” also leads to a change in sweating regulation, so-called “compensatory sweating”, and should therefore only be considered if drug treatment is unsuccessful.
If you are affected by excessive blushing, you can also immediately take advantage of systematic drug treatment under our care online. Book our online coaching and treatment program “PIO Erythrophobia”.
With “Pio Ery” you will either find a solution for your blushing issue or possibly create the conditions for your health insurance to cover the hospital costs of the operation.
Any questions?
Yes, primary hyperhidrosis is genetic. You will find other affected people in your extended family,even if you may have to search longer.
Hyperhidrosis is caused by a disorder in the control of sweating, which we can detect using neurophysiological tests. Then it is also clear whether the hyperhidrosis is primary or secondary.
You have chosen an “expensive” disease. Only some of the possible measures are covered by public health insurance: Iontophoresis, Axhidrox and any necessary surgeries. This leaves medication, which was not developed for hyperhidrosis and therefore has to be paid for privately, but is generally not very expensive. Expect to pay one euro per day for drug treatment. German private health insurance companies usually cover everything, including neurophysiological testing and PIO.
No, you can start online immediately. If we do not obtain sufficient clarity about your status within the PIO online treatment, we’ll recommend a visit.
You may find differing philosophies regarding ETS or ELS operations elsewhere, so let’s be clear about our position here:
-
Before the operation, you absolutely need a prognosis regarding the expected “compensatory sweating”. Many patients come to us who regret their operation because they were not properly informed.
-
Compensatory sweating ALWAYS occurs after the operation. It is therefore necessary to test what can be done about this beforehand.
-
Easier measures often lead to success. This is why health insurance companies only cover the costs of the operation if other measures have been tried without success.
For you, this means that you first need a diagnosis appointment, then a treatment phase lasting several weeks (ideally via PIO) and then the surgery appointment.
A first attempt at treatment often leads to good results and considerable relief. However, this does not necesserely mean that you have already reached your optimum treatment level. You will only know if this is the case once you have tried alternatives. To enable you to do this “from the comfort of your own sofa”, we offer the online coaching and treatment program “PIO”.
- You can easily book MiraDry for the armpits online. Examination, information, and treatment then take place at the same appointment.
- MiraDry for other parts of the body requires preparation. Send us this form and we will plan the treatment.
- Botox treatments are available at short notice. Send us this form and we will plan the treatment.
