Doctor-led · Harley Street since 2007
A discreet, doctor-led pathway for primary hyperhidrosis at our Harley Street clinic — FDA-approved botulinum toxin precisely placed to switch off overactive sweat glands.
Hyperhidrosis treatment in London uses small intradermal injections of botulinum toxin to block the nerve signal that triggers sweat glands. Performed by GMC-registered doctors, the procedure takes 20–30 minutes, results begin within 1–2 weeks, and dryness lasts 6–12 months in the underarms and 4–6 months in the hands and feet.
Hyperhidrosis is a recognised medical condition affecting roughly 1–3% of the population. Treating it well requires accurate diagnosis (primary vs secondary), correct dosing per anatomical area, and an injector who understands the underlying neurophysiology — not a beauty-room protocol.
Every patient at Cosmedocs is assessed by a GMC-registered doctor. We confirm primary hyperhidrosis, rule out medical causes, and plan dosing per area using validated protocols.
Underarms (axillary), palms (palmar), soles (plantar), forehead and scalp, and compensatory sweating after surgery. Each area has its own dosing range and technique — palms and soles, for example, require a finer needle, more injection points, and lidocaine nerve block for comfort.
Consultation and Minor's iodine-starch test (where indicated), topical anaesthetic, then 15–50 micro-injections depending on area. You can return to work the same day. Avoid intense exercise and hot showers for 24 hours.
Underarms: 6–12 months. Hands and feet: 4–6 months. Forehead: 4–6 months. A two-week complimentary review confirms results and addresses any missed patches at no extra cost.
Includes consultation, treatment and complimentary two-week review. A £50 consultation fee applies and is fully redeemed against treatment on the day.
NHS hyperhidrosis treatment exists but waiting lists are long and access criteria strict. Most patients self-refer privately for faster, doctor-led care.
Sweat reduction begins within 2–4 days and reaches maximum effect at 10–14 days. Full duration is then 6–12 months for underarms.
Mild tenderness and pinpoint bruising for 24–48 hours. With correct dosing in the hands, brief and minor grip weakness can occur in <5% of cases and fully resolves.
Many insurers cover hyperhidrosis as a medical (not cosmetic) condition. We provide an itemised invoice and clinical letter to support your claim.
