Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterised by excessive sweating that goes beyond what is necessary to regulate body temperature. It most commonly affects the underarms, hands, feet and sometimes the face, and can have a significant impact on confidence, comfort and daily life.
At our clinic, we offer hyperhidrosis treatment using Allergan Botox®, a highly effective, non-surgical solution that temporarily reduces excessive sweating by targeting overactive sweat glands.
This treatment is safe, minimally invasive and can provide life-changing relief for patients who have struggled with persistent sweating despite using standard antiperspirants or lifestyle measures.
What Is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis occurs when the sweat glands become overactive, producing more sweat than is needed for temperature regulation. It can be:
-
Primary hyperhidrosis – no underlying medical cause, often genetic
-
Secondary hyperhidrosis – caused by medication, hormonal changes or medical conditions
Common areas affected include:
-
Underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis)
-
Palms of the hands
-
Soles of the feet
-
Face and scalp (less commonly)
This condition can significantly affect quality of life, clothing choices, social confidence and professional interactions.

-

How Does Hyperhidrosis Treatment Work?
-
We use botulinum toxin (Allergan Botox®) to temporarily block the nerve signals that stimulate the sweat glands.
-
Normally, nerves release a chemical signal that activates sweat production. Botox works by interrupting this signal in the treated area, significantly reducing sweat output without affecting overall body temperature regulation.
-
Once treated, the sweat glands in that area become much less active, resulting in noticeably drier skin.
Treatment Areas
Hyperhidrosis treatment is most commonly performed in:
-
Underarms (Axillary Hyperhidrosis = The most commonly treated area. Helps reduce visible sweat patches, odour and discomfort.
-
Hands (Palmar Hyperhidrosis) = Improves grip confidence and reduces excessive sweating during daily tasks and social interactions.
-
Feet (Plantar Hyperhidrosis) = Helps reduce sweating that can cause discomfort in footwear and affect confidence.
-
Other Areas (Selective Cases) = In some cases, treatment may be used for facial or scalp sweating following clinical assessment.
