Understanding Hyperhidrosis
This is the more common type, where excessive sweating occurs in specific areas (focal) without any underlying medical cause. It is thought to be the result of overactive nerve signals to the sweat glands. The most commonly affected areas are the underarms, hands, feet, and face
- This type is caused by an underlying medical condition (like an overactive thyroid or diabetes) or as a side effect of medication. It typically involves sweating over large areas of the body (generalised).
While not life-threatening, the impact of hyperhidrosis on a person’s quality of life can be profound, affecting social interactions, professional life, and emotional well-being.

It works by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands don’t receive these signals, the excessive sweating stops.

A significant reduction in sweating in the treated area is typically noticeable within 2-7 days, with full effects visible after two weeks. The treatment dramatically reduces or completely stops sweating, allowing patients to feel dry and confidentManagement

Frequent Asked Questions
Patients generally tolerate the procedure very well. The injections use a very fine needle, and most people describe the sensation as a tiny pinprick. For sensitive areas like the hands and feet, we can use additional pain management techniques to ensure comfort.
The treatment involves a series of small anti-wrinkle injections administered directly into the skin of the affected area. The entire process is typically completed in under 30 minutes.
Yes, it is a very safe and well-established medical treatment. It has been approved and used for treating hyperhidrosis for many years with a high safety profile and excellent patient satisfaction rates when performed by a qualified medical professional.
The treatment only targets the overactive sweat glands in the specific area of concern (e.g., the underarms). Your body will continue to sweat normally in all other areas to regulate body temperature. Blocking the sweat signals in one or two small focal areas does not affect this essential bodily function.
Clinical-strength antiperspirants work by forming a plug on the surface of the skin to block the sweat duct. Anti-wrinkle injection works at a deeper level by blocking the nerve signal that tells the gland to produce sweat in the first place, making it a far more effective and longer-lasting solution for moderate to severe cases.
