    What Is Hyperhidrosis?

    Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition causing excessive sweating beyond what the body needs to regulate temperature. It significantly impacts daily life, confidence, and social interactions — and conventional antiperspirants often provide insufficient relief.

    How the Treatment Works

    Multiple micro-injections of botulinum toxin are administered across the affected area using ultra-fine needles. The neurotoxin blocks nerve signals that trigger sweat gland stimulation, dramatically reducing perspiration within 1–2 weeks.

    Treatment Areas

    Underarms

    £550

    Most common area. Both underarms treated with precise injection grid. Results typically last 6–12 months.

    Facial Areas

    From £200

    Forehead, upper lip, and scalp sweating treated with smaller, more precise doses.

    What Causes Excessive Sweating?

    Hyperhidrosis occurs when sweat glands work overtime beyond what is needed for temperature regulation. It can be genetic, stress-related, hormonal, or linked to underlying medical conditions.

    Am I Suitable?

    May Be Suitable

    • • Severe sweating impacting daily life
    • • Antiperspirants provide insufficient relief

    What to Expect

    Sweat reduction begins within 1–2 weeks, with maximum dryness achieved by 4 weeks. Underarm results typically last 6–12 months; hands and feet 4–6 months.
