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

What areas can be treated for excessive sweating?

The most commonly treated area is the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis). We can also treat excessive sweating on the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet.

How soon can I shave my underarms after the treatment?

Please wait at least 24 hours before shaving or applying deodorants to ensure the injection sites are fully healed and to prevent any irritation or infection.

Will stopping sweat in one area make me sweat more elsewhere?

"Compensatory sweating" is very rare when treating the underarms with injectables. Your body has millions of sweat glands, and deactivating a small fraction will not overload the others.

Does treating hyperhidrosis cause me to sweat more elsewhere?

"Compensatory sweating" (sweating more in a different area) is extremely rare with underarm injections. Your body has millions of sweat glands, and treating a small area doesn't disrupt your core temperature regulation.

Does the hyperhidrosis treatment hurt?

The needles are tiny. For underarms, the discomfort is very minimal. Hands and feet are more sensitive, so we use specialized numbing techniques for those areas.

When will I notice a reduction in sweating?

You will start to notice a significant decrease in sweating within 3 to 7 days, with the full drying effect locked in by day 14.
