What Is A hyperhidrosis treatment?
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterised by excessive sweating that occurs beyond what the body needs for temperature regulation. It often affects the underarms, palms, soles, or face but can occur in other areas. This condition can interfere with daily activities and affect confidence, comfort, and clothing choices.
Hyperhidrosis treatments are non-surgical procedures from the family of anti-wrinkle treatments that reduce sweat production by targeting the overactive nerves that stimulate sweat glands. These treatments provide a temporary solution with lasting results, offering relief for several months at a time.
Potential Benefits Of A Hyperhidrosis Treatment
A hyperhidrosis treatment may support a range of practical benefits for individuals experiencing excessive sweating.
Reduced Sweating
Effectively targets overactive sweat glands, leading to a noticeable reduction in sweating in treated areas.
Improved Comfort
Managing excessive sweating can improve day-to-day comfort in both professional and social settings.
Tailored To Your Needs
Treatments are personalised to address individual concerns, ensuring precise and effective outcomes.
Quick and Convenient
Procedures are usually completed within 30 minutes and require no downtime, allowing clients to continue their daily routines.
Long lasting results
Results can last for several months, depending on individual factors, with maintenance treatments extending effectiveness.
Commonly Targeted Areas for Hyperhidrosis Treatments
A hyperhidrosis treatment is designed to address areas commonly affected by excessive sweating. By targeting specific regions, the treatment may help improve both physical comfort and confidence.
Underarms
Effectively targets overactive sweat glands, leading to a noticeable reduction in sweating in treated areas.
Face and Scalp
Facial and scalp sweating can interfere with appearance, cause discomfort, and lead to challenges such as frequent wiping or makeup smudging. Treatment in these areas helps manage sweating effectively.
Palms
Sweaty hands can be problematic in both personal and professional situations, such as handshakes or handling objects. Treatment helps manage palm sweating, providing a dry and confident grip.
Soles of Feet
Persistent foot sweating can lead to discomfort, odour, and the potential for skin irritation. Hyperhidrosis treatment for the feet alleviates these concerns, enhancing comfort when wearing shoes for extended periods.

What to Expect From Your Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Consultation and Planning
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation to assess your condition, medical history, and treatment goals. During this session, we will identify the affected areas and explain the procedure in detail to ensure you feel confident and informed.
Your Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Preparation
The targeted treatment area will be cleaned and marked for precise injection placement. A numbing cream may be applied for added comfort.
The Procedure
Using fine needles, small amounts of a muscle-relaxing product are injected just beneath the skin to block nerve signals to the sweat glands. The process is quick and minimally invasive, taking approximately 15-30 minutes depending on the area treated.
Comfort Measures
Ice packs or soothing techniques may be used post-treatment to ensure a pleasant experience.
Your Hyperhidrosis Treatment Aftercare and Outcomes
After your hyperhidrosis treatment, you can typically resume normal activities immediately. For optimal results, avoid exercise, alcohol, and sun exposure for 24-48 hours, and skip deodorants or antiperspirants for a few days. Personalised aftercare instructions will be provided by your practitioner. Sweating typically reduces within 3-5 days, with full results visible in two weeks. Effects last 6-12 months, depending on individual factors, with maintenance treatments recommended once or twice a year.
