Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

Excessive sweating can be a source of anxiety and embarrassment. Our medical treatments block sweat glands effectively, allowing you to wear what you want without worry.

Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

A medical condition, not a hygiene problem

Hyperhidrosis means sweating well beyond what your body needs to regulate its temperature. It isn’t about cleanliness or fitness, and while stress can trigger an episode, plenty of people sweat heavily for no identifiable reason at all. Most have spent years cycling through clinical antiperspirants and planning outfits around it before they ask whether anything else is possible.

Treatment blocks the chemical signal that tells sweat glands in a specific area to activate. Underarms are the most commonly treated and respond extremely well, typically staying dry for six to nine months. Hands and feet can also be treated, though they’re more sensitive and need a different approach to numbing. Because we’re only switching off a small fraction of your body’s sweat glands, your overall ability to cool down is unaffected.

What is Hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis means sweating well beyond what your body needs to regulate its temperature. It isn’t about cleanliness or fitness - stress can trigger an episode, but plenty of people sweat heavily for no identifiable reason at all. Most have spent years cycling through clinical antiperspirants before they ask whether anything else is possible.

Treatment blocks the chemical signal that tells sweat glands in a specific area to activate. Underarms are the most commonly treated and respond extremely well, typically staying dry for six to nine months. Because we’re only switching off a small fraction of your body’s sweat glands, your overall ability to cool down stays unaffected.

The Neurotoxin Solution

While commonly known for treating wrinkles, Botulinum Toxin is also a powerful medical treatment for sweating.

  • How it Works: Sweat glands are activated by a chemical messenger called acetylcholine. We inject micro-doses of neurotoxin into the affected area, which temporarily blocks the release of this chemical. The glands simply stop receiving the signal to produce sweat.
  • The Results: Clinical studies show an 80–90% reduction in sweating in the treated area. The treatment is quick, relatively painless, and does not affect the body's overall ability to regulate temperature.

Life-Changing Relief

Imagine not having to worry about sweat patches, antiperspirants, or changing shirts during the day. Results typically develop within 2 weeks and can last for 6 to 9 months.

FAQs

Answers to common questions about our injectable treatments and aesthetic services

How do injections stop excessive sweating?

We use neurotoxins (Botulinum Toxin) injected into the skin. This blocks the chemical signals from the nerves that tell your sweat glands to activate, effectively turning off the sweat production in that specific area.

How exactly does Botox stop sweating?

Botox temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger that triggers your sweat glands. Without this signal, the glands simply do not produce sweat in the treated area.

Is hyperhidrosis treatment safe?

Yes, this is a highly safe, FDA-approved medical treatment for excessive sweating. It targets only the local sweat glands and does not affect your body's overall ability to cool itself.

Is the hyperhidrosis treatment covered by insurance?

Generally, cosmetic clinics cannot process medical insurance claims directly. However, we can provide you with a detailed receipt if your specific health insurance policy covers hyperhidrosis treatments.

How long does the anti-sweating treatment last?

The results for hyperhidrosis are exceptionally long-lasting, typically providing dry comfort for 6 to 9 months before the treatment needs to be repeated.

Do underarm sweat injections hurt?

The underarm skin is surprisingly resilient. We use an ultra-fine needle to make shallow injections just beneath the skin's surface. Most clients report it feels like tiny, very tolerable pinpricks.
