Hyperhydrosis

Treatment Summary

Hyperhidrosis occurs when the sweat glands are overactive and produce more sweat than the body needs for temperature regulation. It most commonly affects the underarms, hands, feet, face and scalp. While not harmful, it can cause social discomfort, clothing concerns and emotional distress.

One of the most effective treatments for hyperhidrosis is the use of prescription injectable treatments commonly used in aesthetic medicine. These injections work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate the sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production in the treated area. This treatment is particularly effective for underarm sweating and can also be used for hands, feet and other affected areas following assessment.

Treatment is quick, usually taking between 30 and 45 minutes, with minimal discomfort and no significant downtime. Most clients notice a reduction in sweating within a few days, with full results developing over one to two weeks. Results typically last between four and nine months, depending on the individual and treatment area.

For clients with milder symptoms or those seeking non-injectable options, alternative treatments may be discussed during consultation, including topical or device-based solutions where appropriate.

What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating beyond what is needed to regulate body temperature. It can affect areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, face or scalp.

How does the treatment work?
The treatment works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate the sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production in the treated area.

Is the treatment painful?
Most clients experience only mild discomfort. A topical numbing agent can be used to improve comfort during the procedure if required.

When will I see results and how long do they last?
Results usually begin within a few days, with full effects developing over one to two weeks. The reduction in sweating typically lasts between four and nine months, depending on the individual.

Is the treatment safe?
Yes. The treatment is widely used and clinically proven when performed by a trained medical professional. A consultation is always carried out to ensure the treatment is suitable for you.

Most clients experience a significant reduction in excessive sweating in the treated area. Improvements usually begin within two to four days, with optimal results developing over one to two weeks following treatment.

Treated areas typically remain noticeably drier, helping to reduce clothing marks, odour and discomfort during daily activities and social situations. Many clients report increased confidence and improved quality of life as a result of reduced sweating.

Results are long-lasting but not permanent. The effects generally last between four and nine months, depending on the treatment area and individual response. Maintenance treatments can be performed to sustain results safely over time.

Outcomes vary from person to person and will be discussed during your consultation to ensure realistic expectations and personalised care.
